900mm DLG flight in the rain

by kirikset | November 24, 2013 | (5) Posted in Just Fun

Second time flying my Mini DLG Composite Discus Launch Glider 950mm (PNF) from HobbyKing http://goo.gl/Nz8uuQ
Got to about 30 second of glide time with no wind and about 45 above the slope.
DLGs are so much fun! Also you never get cold because you are constantly moving to toss or retrieve it.

Excellent video. I'll be a DLG beginner myself with a Versus very soon.

I also have a Versus already built and tested but it is too big for me alone to carry to this field by public transport and I don't own a car yet and still have not finished a carry box for 1.5 m DLGs(
Versus glides sooo much better, I would say it has a glide ratio almost 2 time better than this 950 mm glider.

Nice - I also got one and it is great fun. I installed HK-altimeter and V-booster so I step up voltage from 1S 300mAh to 5 Volts
