One of the best episode in a long while. Im just hoping you document the actual glassing part of the build somewhere so noobs like myself can obsess over it. Great content. Thanks for sharing.

After two water-logged Sea Ducks, I decided to glass my 3rd one. I removed ALL the paper and glassed it with 18g and 24g/m2. Results were perfect! No more moisture getting between the paper and the foam, with very little weight gain. The Sea Duck is my absolute favourite and now even more so. Thanks Team!! Rob

The seaduck is my favorite one too. So did you build it like normal and then take all the paper off before glassing or did you build it without the paper, then glassed it?

@@cooter3690 Both - for example I took the paper off the inside of the wing BEFORE folding, and removed the paper from the outside of the wing AFTER the wing was assembled. The fuselage pieces were "depapered" and glassed BEFORE gluing together. I crashed my 1st SeaDuck. My 2nd got slowly more-and-more waterlogged. I like to do spend a lot of time gliding across the water - and the fact that it was sea water didn't help. The moisture got everywhere and caused serious delamination (yes, I used water resistant FT foamboard). Fibreglass is the way to go!

@@mfoo3038 I've never posted anything on the Flite Test forum, but maybe I'll give it a go one of these days. To be honest, I didn't take any build photos and any photos I take now won't be of any help as she's been spray painted. For a quick guide: 1. remove the paper from the inside of ALL parts and replace with ultra-lightweight fiberglass (18g/m2). Heavier glass is a heavier plane - but stronger! I'm sure the Sea Duck could easily handle heavier glass. 2. Leaving the outer paper on while hot gluing all your folds. This will help hold everything together as the glue cools. But try to keep the glue away from the paper, since we'll remove it afterwards anyway. 3. Remove the outer paper. Lightly sand any sharp corners - as the fiberglass cloth will adhere better to a rounded corner. If you have any big gaps, you can fill with glue. I used the epoxy resin with a lightweight filler (e.g., micro-ballons). 4. Glass the outer surfaces, prior to assembling. 5. Spray paint, dry and fly - preferably over water. :) I just took out the Sea Duck again today. The water was like a mirror. I was all smiles.

Rob thanks for the detailed description i would love to see some pics of your bird anyway :)) stay safe!

I work with high power rockets a lot for university projects. If you are looking to help keep the vertical stabilizers on, try using a filleting blend to join the wing to the stabilizer. The blend will thicken the two-part epoxy and allow you to "shape" the fillet such that it can attach to the wing and stabilizer. This is how we join our fins to the body of the rocket as well as give it a nice sleek look.

In a plane, you are just moving the weakest link, and the part that will break first. If you strengthen the stab, the whole wing might get damaged if it crashes, making the repair more difficult than just gluing the broken stab back on. Picking your weak link is a skill learned through many difficult repair.

Last year, 2019, I got a tip from a fellow Flight Fest attendee that may work on these wings. He suggested using a pair of inexpensive, Dollar Tree Store, women's panty hose. Basically you cut the hose in half at the crotch, and slide each wing half tip first into each leg until the hose conforms around the entire wing. Once the wing is properly positioned, you can coat with resin or you can wipe on a couple of coats of Minwax Polycrylic water based Poly Urethane. After it dries you cut off the excess stocking, finish the edges, install the equipment and go fly! This was his method for covering foam chuck gliders that were converted to RC. He even covered the fuselage and elevator that way to make them more rigid.

You guys refresh my positivity for our hobby, thank you

Really liking the Josh and Noah show lately and it was great to see some FT classics again and some fast proximity flying. Big planes and experimental builds are neat but it's great to see you guys flying hard and fast again.

I’m impressed. I’m on my fourth Arrow, having busted up the previous three in crashes, and this looks like a great way to make things more durable.

I’d live to see you guys try some long range experiments with crossfire or dragon link, I know you guys could make it super easy :)

Alex is the unsung hero....great skills following that demolition derby. Great stuff guys....Cheers.

I'm loving the idea of reinforcing even just the leading (impact) edges of the wings with either CF or fiberglass. It will definitely increase the longevity (for training of course) of the airframes. Love seeing a second generation getting involved in this hobby!

Hey FliteTest! I have been watching your videos or about a year now and just wanted to say you are some of the best RC channels I have ever come across!

A good demonstration for the use of fiberglass coatings, thanks!

I've been glassing foamboard planes for a while and I've found 3/4oz weight glass and keeping the epoxy to a minimum adds the least weight but still adds strength. Keeping it to the leading edge and surfaces that are landed on can keep the weight down too. Helps a TON with scuffs, dents, and fraying that foamboard usually experiences.

@FlavoredCrayon

I also feel like selectively glassing and using a carbon spar is stronger than using that spar weight on more glass. You can make some seriously robust foamies that way.

Hi guys ! First thanks for your work on this channel :) In the boat world, they also use a peel ply that you put on your fiberglass while curing. It helps having a smoother surface to limit the sanding process after that. It should help having a nicer finish. Keep up ;)

This is really cool, I might try it

Great test!!!

CARBON FIBER next??? Awesome video!!!

Just bought 2 arrow value bundles and I am looking forward to building and fly them with my daughter's. I think I will go one step further than fiberglass and carbon fibre the arrow for the added strength and oh so cool appearance. Love the channel and videos, keep it up and you guys should get back to doing more collaborations with Peter.

I bought the value kit and a battery, I can’t wait for it to arrive! I will definitely try glassing it.

Great video and definitely makes the arrow more durable. I am interested in knowing what the flying weight is with the go-pro, 4s battery and fibreglass now.

I'm sure everyone already knows but EPP foam could take that type of abuse all day long with next to no damage. That's why EPP Foam wings are used for combat flying. I would love to see some FT designed EPP foam planes.

Imagine what kinda shenanigans you could get into with a glassed FT Edge 540👍🏽

Excellent idea!! I may try glassing just the Wings first, as that will only add weight ON the CoG....

They're indestructible!

Always buy my FT products from my local hobbyshop. (turn 4 hobbies) figures that way I am supporting both Flite test, and the hobby shop! win win!

I made one with fiberglass and aura5lite and its really worthwhile!. It's extremely nice flying, its durable as they say. I ended up in a tree on my second flight in the "panic-mode" and only lost a winglet. thanks again to flitetest for the inspiration to build this great flying wing.
