In this episode of building the EMG_6 We assemble the Rudder Assembly for the Low Drag Rudder.

In this episode of building the EMG_6 We assemble the Rudder Spar Sub Assembly for the Low Drag Rudder assembly.

A Time Lapse look at the covering of the rudder assembly with polyfiber 1.8 oz glider cloth.

In this episode of building the EMG_6 We install the Passenger Rudder Pedal support tube for the fuselage frame

In this episode of building the EMG_6 we go behind the scenes to see how we manufacture one of the EMG-6 parts from start to finish. Follow along as we design and manufacture (P/N 51-60-10 bushing holder) using solid works and solid cam software and then cut and machine this integral part on the EMG-6

Test flight number 39. On this flight test sequence we show the initial tests for hands-off flight characteristics. Although this is only a short flight we fly the entire downwind leg of the tow to 700 feet with our hands and feet off of the flight controls. In the video you can see by shifting the center of gravity through movement of the body I can control the direction and the airspeed of the aircraft. The aircraft is rocksolid stable and Trims up right at best glide speed. Even by taking my feet off of the rudder pedals shifts the center of gravity enough that you can see the nose pitch down slightly.

In this short video we show an overview of the components that make up the rudder assembly (LD)

In this "how it's made" episode of building the EMG-6 we look at a cool little trick for converting pool noodles into flight control gap seals. For details on how we manufactured the cutting dies and refined the cutting process visit the EMG web site. http://www.electricmotorglider.com/2016/06/video-cutting-flight-control-gap-seals.html

Another episode of "Building the EMG-6". In this episode we look at the process of marking tubing. Pretty much every component on the EMG 6 uses tubing for construction. In this video we show you how to accurately and easily mark tubing for these applications.

In this video we go through the entire process of punch testing the Dacron sailcloth on a Rans S 12 using a Maule punch tester and a Quicksilver Dacron sailcloth punch tester.
