Description

The Pug 2 is the latest verion of Angelwing Designs highly regarded Pug mini DLG and slope soarer.

Angelwing Design are proud to introduce the Pug V2 Micro DLG. Retaining the same dimensions and outlines we have refined the Pug to fly better, look better, to build better, to reduce sanding and totally revised the canopy hatch. Our prototype weighs in at 91g ready to fly with a full decal set, and we just do not think it needs to be any lighter at all..

The most striking changes are:

1.5mm carbon rod trailing edge, this enhances the appearance, improves the wings overall strength and most importantly allows us to refine the wing section for even more efficient flight.
Resin Printed Horizontal Stab mount, pushrod guides, canopy retainer and Wing hold down brackets. The wing hold downs encapsulate a 3mm steel nut and completely eliminate the requirement to manually drill, tap and harden the threads in the previously used plwood plates.
Totally new canopy hatch, using a tongue lip at the front and a 6mm double magnet catch at the rear, eliminates the need for tape of flexing of the hatch to pop it on and off.

In addition to the structural design changes we now include an option RES fin in the kit for those who wish to bungee launch or fly from the slope rather than to use the Pug as a DLG. Gentle side arm launches are still possible with this fin set, but not intended for high power DLG launches.

Kit contains:
Pre Printed Wing Plan
Laser Cut Balsa and Plywood parts
Carbon Fibre Rod leading edge
Carbon Fibre Rod trailing edge
Carbon Fibre Tube Boom
Carbon Fibre Tube Spars
Piano Wire Elevator and Rudder Pushrods
SLA Printed Plastic parts
Magnetic Canopy hatch components
M3 Nylon Wing Bolts

Suits 2.5 - 5g Sub Micro Servos
Micro 4 to 6ch RX
RX battery round 15 to 25g (prototype uses a 2s 160mah Battery and Micro BEC)

We recommend Solite, Oralight or Feather Cover covering material for this model.

Pug mini Dlg

I did a Maiden tonight with my Pug 2 Dlg. I bought it as a christmas gift from my wife.
To build the wings was very easy, nice balsa in the ribs and smart connection in the middle. I had some problem with the body, the plastic parts that led the wires to the rudder was to narrow so I could not move the wires. In the end I took a ligther and warmed up the wire and put it through.
I have not made any real test with my Pug, but after tonight I know it will fly. The feather cover was very easy to put on.
Sorry for my english

Pug 2 mini-Dlg - Fun build

A great, fun to build glider and re-introduction to the hobby. I wanted something small that can be flown in local fields. Great service from hyperflight with the delivery. I followed the manual very closely and it went together fine. The CNC cutting is superb! Even though the fuselage pod is "self-jigged" care still needs to be taken to keep it true. The wing went together well, just follow along with the manual. I covered the wing and tail feathers in transparent Oralight. I was concerned that it would be difficult covering the wing due to the small Carbon fibre Leading and trailing edges, but this was no problem. For extra strength I glassed the fuselage pod with light weight cloth and some old SP113 resin. Then gave 3 coats of filler primer, 3 coats of primer and a couple of coats of Halfords top coat, with lots of sanding in between, the pod now looks like it was moulded :-). The weight is around 95 grams. Still playing with the CG and now it has 3g in the nose (too far forward initially).

It would have been nice if some carbon fibre tows were included to reinforce the throwing peg as shown in the manual. Also, the control throws indicate that the rudder is around 2x the elevator's, so it may be advisable to use the innermost hole for the later.

This model fills the bill perfectly as an introduction to DLG that can be flown in local fields/small spaces.

Pug 2 Purchase

I have purchase two Pug 2 from Hyperflight and I am very pleased with the DLG and the very quick shipping and support. I had a broken part (my bad) and they connected me with the Pug 2 Manufacture for a placement part. Both the manufacture/designer Angelwingdesigns and Hyperflight support has been super.

Pug V2

Can't comment on the kit as I bought it as a present for my son for christmas (and due to Covid I haven't seen him to give him it) delivery was brilliant as always with Hyperflight.
