Paul has been building and preparing Handlaunch gliders for a long time and now you can learn his pro building techniques.
In Pauls 4 hour Handlaunch Building Clinic, you will watch Paul build not one, but two composite HLG kits, start to finish, every step, from glassing the wing halves, to doing a light weight wiring harness. He will show you 2 builds because both planes have unique construction needs, and they cover the most widely used assembly techniques.
Now this is NOT a scratch building DVD, Paul does not do any foam wing cutting or vacuum bagging. What you will see is what most people build, a composite kit with the basic parts prefinished, the wings, tails and fuselage are already done, though not assembled.
While these planes are not hard to assemble, they do require a number of skills and techniques that are best learned by watching Paul do them live. You'll learn how to build light and strong, with systems that will be reliable flight after flight.
You'll learn how to handle fiberglass and use epoxy safely, mount servos, install bullet-proof carbon pushrod systems and mount the tails and wings square. Making a light and reliable electrical system is challenging but Paul walks you through basic soldering, weight-saving wiring techniques, and battery pack construction.
You'll learn how to pre-tune the glider for its first flight so you won't have any surprises on launch. You can apply the building techniques you learn to just about any HLG kit on the market, and for that matter, ANY glider kit. If you are building one of the high-end moulded wing kits, I do recommend the Handlaunch Tech Lab which covers the latest building and gear for those planes.
Things You Will Learn More About:
• Over 3.5 hours of detailed tutorials and building hints • Wing Joining and Fiberglassing • Radio Installation • Soldering and Wiring • Making Battery Packs • Building Carbon Pushrods • How To Build Straight • How to Save Weight • Using Epoxies Safely • Wing and Tail Mounting • Making Ballast Kits
This 4 hour DVD will save you tons of construction time and it will help you avoid mistakes that might result in a in-flight failure.
