aha keeping the motor people happy, wheeeeerrrrrrrrrrrooooommmm 😂 great work as usual. Dont know what youve tried yet but you could try slowly shrinking the laminate with a hair dryer or a heat gun held very far away, helps if you havent de-fogged the covering and use the opacity as a guage to determine how hot and how fast the covering is getting. The thin stuff actually shrinks a lot but the amount of shrinking is somewhat controllable. So you start far away without the glue activated and gradually move in on it, hold until a little after the fog's gone. You would do it after tacking the edged but not the ribs. Just my experience with laminste ive been through over 3000 feet of it in various thicknesses
Thanks 👍, I did get a heat gun and it work very nice on PA-CF or PLA ribs. In this case, I use LW PLA, it just deformED the ribs before the doculam shrink 😂😂😂
@@Gravity-k4r in EU, I would recommend using light weight covering film (such as Solite) or Japanese tissue. Doculam is a document protection film, low cost but need higher temp to shrink
Awesome build! Love that wing gig - makes life a lot easier than pins. Curious about what is your personal preference inline or stacked servo? Keep it up!!
@@k.o.0 If your RX/ESC is small enough, go with inline (that’s what I did in this build). Space and CG is the limiting factors and it depends on your powertrain , battery, and servo selection.
Hi Guys, new to this hobby. I am using Pursa slicer, I can't open some of the files. Has anyone else had issues, firewall is one of the files. I have printed the vtail. Thank you for sharing.....
Do you think PETG-CF would work for this model? Or its too heavy compared to PA-CF
@@ripmax333 PETG is about 15% heavier than PA. This will roughly increase AUW by ~8%. Not significant but there is a clear difference for Carbon Bug.
@geode_rc perhaps LW-ASA?
@@ripmax333 looks promising on the paper

@@geode_rc can we get some more details about the doculam can´t find alot about it here in the EU

@@geode_rc would love to try the Doculam to be honest. Just found a source for glossy 38mic would that work or what thickness is your recommendation?
@@Gravity-k4r try thinnest doculam you can find. mine is ~1 mil or less
How do you make the jig to assemble the wings?
Just join the two part together ?
Summary, don't get to see it fly.
Just updated Bug Lite maiden. Hope you enjoy 😉
Nice build. Well done. Maybe offer it as a kit build ARTF?
Someday ⋯may be⋯after I build up my supply chain 😅

Hey, thanks for the plans. Could you please tell where I can find the bom?
Try kite shop or arrow shaft

Very light and interesting design but what program do you use for simulation?
I use XFLR5 for aerodynamic simulations, Rhino for CAD design.
Bellissimo lavoro ! 👍Che tipo di film usi per ricoprire le ali?
I use Doculam. If using LW PLA, it’s recommended to use Japanese tissue paper
@@geode_rc Grazie 👍
What motor, propeller and battery do you use? Thanks
@@Makooo22 I got mine from Hyperflight.com (powertrain by VM model). Also see RCGroups forum for other options
Thanks for your response, is it the VM Lightweight Powerset 17g kit?
@@Makooo22 correct 👍
Thanks!!
Very impressive design and build! Curious to see it fly or hear how it flew. Are you planning to publish a flight video?
If it flies well, I will (try to) build it as well
That's the plan! For now, please refer to flight videos of “Bug Lite equivalent” designs such as Carbon Bug and Lightening Bug

The 3mf files are for Orca / Bambu Studio slicer. Not recommended, but it’s possible to convert to Prussia slicer ==>

@@geode_rc Thank you
@@geode_rc Thank you
The wing tips are also Carbon Nylon?
The wing tips are LW PLA. The outer 4 ribs are PA-CF (less rib deformation due to leading edge CF rods)
Hi great job 😃. What wire do you use to assemble the tailplane?
@@ksisaqev I use Beadalon 7 Strand Stainless Steel Bead Stringing Wire, 0.010 in / 0.25 mm, Bright, 30 ft / 9.2 m ; a.co/d/jiRSfQr
Bro
I cant ablemto down stl file
Means it gets downloaded but not showing in cura
This is for Orca or Bambu Studio.
