TigerOC Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Great to see this added to the forum. Following a successful event organised by our club, Okehampton MFC, with South West Scale Soaring last year there is an increasing interest in this in our club. A fellow club member and I have joined forces to build a tug for smaller gliders prevalent in our club based on the Das Ugly Stik. We are fortunate to have Felix Marten, a well known tug pilot in the UK, as a member and we are using his expertise to guide us. We are hoping to establish a regular monthly event to which everyone in the Devon/South West area is welcome to attend. This is a 2m span off plan version powered with a Zenoah Titan 23cc petrol engine. Here being balanced in preparation for test flight, when it stops raining/snowing.

Andy Meade Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Nice I've had a Bond 1/4 scale Wilga on the building board for about 5 years now - just another one of those builds I'll get around to finishing at some point!

Herri Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm also buliding one. I started late last year with a couple of club pals. We have now gone in slightly different directions. I have a 3W 80, which I bought secondhand, although unused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herri Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Just a picture of my present tug. Based loosley on a typical tug. 2.3m span. ZG62 powered. Built with my Stepcraft 600, so first CAD project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
