hiye Joe
Twins, 'only our mother can tell us apart!!' ha ha ha

Hi Joe,
You did'nt have to model it on yourself !!.
Though the likeness is striking.
-
AAaaaawwwwww ! Like the snowman ! :D
-
Didn't realise when I was building it but yes there is a likeness there. Well if you have a good design. Stick to it!
Looking forward to giving it a go Bill. Something I can do in front
of my house as well as field or slope so hopefully I'll get some use out of it. If I order now I might actually have it ready for the summer!
-
get a sport tube or a gun case and you can take it on tour with you :wink: :clap:
-
I would if I ever had a chance to fly it! Maybe one day in a 5 week tour. Not worth the hassle. Holidays though. I would like to bring it with me next time I head for the sun.
-
I take a bet that the only day, the perfect day for a good DLG session, you will forget it at home :mrgreen: 8-[
-
So DLG arrived today. Looks good. Light, strong and well made. Will take a bit of time and careful work to get it ready to fly. It's in the queue now. I'd say it'll be march before it makes it to the building board :(

Nice Joe.
Where did you buy that from?
-
I got it direct from a distributor in Asia. It is available on ebay (search for DLG glider), http://www.r2hobbies.com and a few other places.
I can also order them, they take 2/3weeks to get here. About €155 shipped.

Thanks Joe,
I'll bear it in mind for when compensation eventually comes through!! :lol:
-
Nice model Joe.
I’m particularly interested in the colour scheme. I’d like to know how it works at a distance. :?:
You must ask your 'Better Half' to film you when you come to launch it,…….That I want to see!!! :lol: :lol:
I think you should wear a Kilt when you launch it. :shock: Like Bill when he “Tosses his Caber” :wink:
Although, perhaps on second thoughts……………..

Reminds me of the VERy old joke about what's worn under a kilt?.
NOTHING! It all works perfectly :wink: :lol: :lol:
-
I don't wish to know that! :oops: (T.M.I.)

Envy? :twisted: :evil:

Hi Joe , great looking DLG and good value !!!!
I am so glad to see another victim of the hand launch club.
I have been flying DLGs for a couple of years and started with a mountains models DL50 , I had so much fun with this wee plane. I then bit the bullet and got a Blaster 2 , It is a fantastic second level plane.
The feeling you get from hitting a thermal from a hand launch is better than sex lol.
Have fun and keep us posted.

Hi Joe.
Look's like a nice glider. Do you think a 300 mAh HiMH battery would be enough for a four servo model. You would not get much flying time from it would you? I have a 1000 mAh HiMH battery in mine that I made up myself using AAA HiMh rechargeable batteries. Had to shoe horn it in though, does take up a bit of space.

Hi Joe, how is your glider flying ?
