Build Blog Rc Glider Builds Building Remote Controlled Scale Gliders The next big step is glassing the wings. i used 48gr glass cloth, cut at a 45 degree angle (this means a 2cm overlap around 30cm from the wing root). i first put the glass on the wings (and tailplane). then i prepare a mixture of epoxy resin, with a bit of white colourant and 30% methanol to make it really “watery”. When we started this project we decided that building “scale” was less important than building a performant glider (we build our planes for flying – a lot!). the original vt 16 was built with a combination of ribs and foam, at the time a very modern construction. we decided to take this a bit further and build our orlik with different.
Build Blog Rc Glider Builds Building Remote Controlled Scale Gliders We cut the styrofoam cores for the wings at the end of last year. the original diana4 will have a wingspan of 18m, that means that our scale 1:3.5 will have a wingspan of 5.14m. as my car is just large enough to accomodate 2.5m wings, i will build them in one piece.that makes the wings easier to build and, importantly, saves weight.

Posted in rc airplanes. scale rc gliders are remote control replicas of real life gliders that are used primarily for rc hobbyists. these gliders are constructed with intricate details to give a precise replica of the original glider. scale rc gliders can be incredibly complex and require a lot of skill and dedication to build and fly.
