Hi all
The dlg becomes popular and popular now, and more and more people love it.there are many professional dlg in the market,they are all mold built,and the price are more than $500, or even more. Its expensive to the beginner and many people who want try this game.i understand why the dlg is expensice,the mold fee, material,labor cost...many people around me like this game, and want to have a try, but when i tell them the price ,most of them stop their thoughts.
i have design a 1.5meter dlg 2 years before, and even cut the mold, but baecause of there are still problems with the mold and the CNC factory refused to modify the mold, so this project stopped.and i dont want to pay more money on a new mold.
my friend has a CNC mill. he asked me if i can build a vaccum bagged dlg for him, and he can get 10 sets order if the price is under 350 EU.Its a good idea to me ,and we talked this project with him further.here is our plan.
1.cut the wing and tails cores with CNC(rohacell core)
2.cut the fuse lage with aluminum mold
3.bagged the wings tails
4.retail price is less then 350EU(in Europe, and $350 to other country)
5.one piece wing or 2(for less shipping cost) .i want to sell them worldwide.
here is data of my dlg
Wing span: 1494mm
length:1133
wing area:19.6dm^2
wing weight:95~105 grams (https://shop1.r-g.de/en/art/192040060-CBA310) (https://shop1.r-g.de/en/art/190263-45-20-100) the weight depend on the material
tails weight :12 grams
fuselage:10~12 grams
boom weight 26grams
total weight less than 220grams
May i ask some questions:
1.if the plan reasonable?
2.does people will accept bagged dlg with this price?
3cani sell 100 sets worldwide? if it does i can save money to cut a new mold and then produce mold dlg with reasonable price . (thats my dream)
Thank you all guys!
