Hey guys! In this video, we take an in-depth look at my newest build, a ~700 mm DLG that weighs less than 25 grams! I provide the weight of each part, as well as details as to the construction process, tools, materials, and how long it took. The light weight comes as a consequence of a hollow balsa wing, with 1/32” Balsa skin, and carbon fiber strengthening in the middle for structural rigidity. I got the idea to try building this style of wing from this video here :

This build is simply amazing! I've never seen a design quite like this. It's elegant simplicity yet sturdy construction makes it a truly unique piece of engineering.

You are getting very good at this. Where do you get the receiver brick from, and does it bind up to a particular brand of transmitter. In other words could I get one to work with my turnigy i6. What voltage does it run on. In Australia we may soon face changes to the rules about flying and I am looking for different ideas. Thanks Allen

How did you bend the balsa for the wing. Thanks. Great video

I see a possible issue if this is truly to be a dlg and that is gonna be a structural problem in the tip of the wing on launch. Balsa alone would need to be reinforced on the outside with some bagging to keep it strong enough to withstand a full on dlg style launch.

Very well done sir. Lovely work! The only thing I question is the placement of a single strip of carbon in the center of the spar. Isn't carbon best used in tension? I've only seen it used on top and bottom of spars, never in the center. Can you please explain your reasoning? It doesn't seem like it would be living up to its potential for strength to me.
