Hi Joe,
You did'nt have to model it on yourself !!.
Though the likeness is striking.

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!

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 :(

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.

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……………..

K.
Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.
