25$ balsa dlg build


I am in a temporary apartment and don't have any real tools or workspace but decided to start putting my glider together anyway seeing as how it's so cheap, I can afford to make some mistakes - and I did.

I have no instructions but with a little thinking about it, the parts just kind of put themselves together. The fuselage was a no brainer and the pieces fit great.

I have no jig but the wing went together pretty easily though I messed up the LE and decided to remedy it with a piece of balsa I had to cut to add to the LE, and then to leave off the wing sheeting on the LE. The wing will still be very strong because I put in a carbon fiber slat wingspar and I am going to be using laminating film to cover.
Just need to do some sanding.

Have all major components assembled and comes out to about 110 grams without electronics.

Now if they had only sent me the other wing.
