Hello Fellow Hobbyists, Some of us out there cannot to buy a Discus Launch Glider, I know I can't, but I started scratch building DLGs and it has been great. I was thinking of bringing balsa and foam DLGs, letting people try them, inspire people, and sell them for $25-40. (not sure yet) Is...

Hey forum members, My friend and I have been bouncing around the idea for cheap receiver ready discus launch gliders with a balsa fuselage and foam/balsa wing. We would sell the planes receiver ready at Flite Fest. Is anyone interested? Not really looking to make a profit, but I don't want to...

Hello. So recently I purchased my first Discus Launch Glider; a dream flight libelle. After much practice I was finally able to launch it high enough in the air to catch thermals. However, I seem to be encountering a problem when I fly. Even though the Libelle is very nice and floaty, I...

I think that Flite Test should do a review on the new UMX Whipit DLG from E-flite. I am looking into getting a dlg, and when the Whipit came out, I was really excited because of how cheap it is. The low price would allow me to see if I want to get into dlg's so I don't spend too much money on a...

I have puttered around trying to use the Flite Test foamboard technology to come up with a discus launch glider, but haven't had much (well, any) success. Have you guys thought about that? I have built and modified several Simple Soarers (love that plane) and I keep thinking there ought to be...

Hayah! Thank's to David's amazing skills presented in his old video and FliteTest videos, i got so hooked up on DLG now... Yesterday i created something that will probably end up on a t-shirt :D Feel free to download this and use it http://www.krysiak.biz/2014/06/my-new-passion/

Here's some fun video footage of my new Dream-Flight Libelle Glider with a twist of humor mixed in for good measure. I consider this the Un-unboxing video. If you like gliders this one has a well thought out design, is easy to put together and can fly in very light to relatively strong wind...

Hi there! Does anyone have experience with the longshot 4 DLG? If so, please tell me what you think about it and how difficult it was to build it and to set it up. I have some experience with DLGs and Thermal/Slope soaring so I am an Intermediate pilot. Please post a reply telling me what you...

searching a budget DLG Hi There! I just wanted to ask if you have any suggestions for a budget priced DLG. I have had the Dreamflight Alula for quite some time now and I want to be able to do more F3K. I thought about under 450 €. Every advice is appreciated.

Does anyone have one of these on order? Looks like it might be a great entry level DLG. Maybe we could get them to send Flitetest a couple to do build video and flight videos. Looks like a sweet ship. http://www.dream-flight.com/products/libelle-dlg Crashmaster

So, I will start out with an apology. Mainly because I am new at this whole forum thing, but also, because I rushed this build. And, well, it shows. However, I believe I had some small success. I have been flying RC for about 3 years, but have always gotten my planes 2nd hand, and have only had...

After flying couple of scratchbuilt gliders past year I decided I wanted a proper glider. DLG seemed the best way to go for me so I chose Longshot 4. Im more of a scratchbuilder guy and I like to go cheap so this is something way different than what Iv done before. Previously my most expensive...

Ever since the DLG video that you guys have made, I have grown a real interest in DLG but i don't have the money to buy one. I would love to see you guys design a supper cool (As always) DLG that has a 950mm wingspan with supper small airfoils and that is durable. Post your idea's below guys!

Hey guys! I'm building the Mimi DLG out of balsa and had some questions regarding the wing. My issue is pretty much that I used some less than quality balsa for the outer section of the right wing and it is now unbalanced. This means that one side of the wing is heavier than the other. I have...

I've been wanting to get into DLG gliders and this may be my entry point. Haven't taken the plunge yet but, I think it might make an excellent idea for an episode. It is an inexpensive glider that many people have had great things to say about. I think a build/flying review episode would...

hello all since going threw David's site (rcexplorer.se) i have been wanting a dlg . but i am not that skilled with gliders so i don't want to spend a few hundred dollars on a dlg that i will probable kill . so after some searching i found a foam board dlg so when i kill it it will be cheap to...
