DON'T LAUGH AT ME!!! Learning DLG

Massive thanks to Didier and Luuk for at least trying to show me how to properly launch a DLG (Discus Launched Glider) into the stratosphere! Even if the video was cut short due to the DLG imploding!!

This is hands down my favourite form of model flying. It's so relaxing once you get it, and you can always add some weight and fly aerobatics in a breeze.

[@stuartwarnerc]

Hey that’s my old CX5, glad to see it being put to such good use! Nice video gents. Good seeing you all at PW24

[@CyclingMikey]

I fly a load of DLG in UK competitions. I'm not particularly good but I do OK. I love the challenge of using the air to stay up and to try to outfly the rest of the group.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Its super addictive!!

[@jdsd_]

Hey mate, i wanna buy a 1,5m DLG as well, can you tell me what the best brands are when it comes to build quality and flying characteristics? There are quite a few out there and i dont wanna waste my money :D

[@CyclingMikey]

@@jdsd_ The most popular seem to be BAMFs, Vortex 4s and CX5s.

[@danielb4118]

Please more videos like this. I am starting learning to launch my first dlg. I hope not to broke at first launch. Already make single taxing and it flies great so far.

[@Helicopterpilot16]

Can't believe I'm finally ordering a CX5; gonna be a good summer!

[@Shock_96]

Great to see you challenge yourself with other branches of our fantastic hobby! I've seen you at ProWing but was a little to shy to approach you... 😶‍🌫️

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Dude! I dont bite! I am in this for the fun, as you hopefully saw in this video! Make sure to say hi next time!

[@zeno6111753]

Loved this video! Please keep posting to show your progression.

[@joehazelquist3037]

That was great. Enjoyed this a lot. Now I have to find some DLG folks near me. A new aspect of the addiction...errr...hobby to enjoy.

[@Flyingfinn0]

Didier Neefe is such a cool dude ,great seeing you and Martin having a laugh,makes me want to have a go with a DLG

[@John_Dumont]

Heyyyyy thats my friend Luuk, met him on the multiplayer function of realflight 9.5. Hes such a good pilot🙌🏻

[@nielssteigenga]

Gaaf Didier! Leuk om te zien man.

[@rolfingerbier]

DLG is amazing. I have two of them. I'm not a pro, but the experience is incredible.

[@laurynasceskevicius5262]

Nice video, greetings !

[@gravityfuzz]

@Martin. You will be an amazing DLG flyer.

[@neilsreal]

Never seen these before, video has made me want one now lol looks like so much fun.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

They sure are!

[@Optimiser113]

Very cool

[@ficosk8]

Buen día Martin! You had a lot of punch already in the beginning. I have seen this just a couple of times live at our field in south east Bavaria and was looking for a cheap one the beginn one day. It looks really enjoying! :D

[@jasperstempelsfotografie3643]

Haha....nice work Didier.

[@ukandrew]

Always amazing how high DLG’s can be propelled to. Also amazing how strong DLG’s are. Think you did really well. Would love to see what height an olympic discus champion could manage. Interesting video.

[@geoffreyvanvugt8179]

Great vid 😂😂😂😂

[@ficosk8]

But that FMS Futura 64mm in yellow with the girl in the back is addictive too :D :D Brought me totally into jets xD

[@Serifinity]

I think they were winding you up, your throws were just as good, seemed to have more control as well. Great video, looking forward to more

[@rjung_ch]

Cheers 👍💪✌

[@CthulhuJon]

Nice video, DLG is a lot of fun. ...but what was the first launch height Vs. the best launch height after practice ?

[@K3Flyguy]

I am flying a dream flight libelle foam DHL, and am ready to move up a notch, could you make a recommendation?

[@joelpetersen2480]

I'm not laughing. I'm listening, watching and learning.

[@tariqyounus3880]

Need some guidance, I have set my all settings as per information on net . Like my throttle stick in mid so all control surfaces neutral and if throttle stick full up then my ailerons , Reflex around 10% . And i move stick back from middle, then control surfaces moving down , for brake , Also using toggle switch mix with rudder and elevator, 30% each , Pls guide when I throw first time , I have to hold toggle switch, for how long ?? And what will be throttle stick position during launch?? In middle, all surfaces should neutral or Throttle stick, full up with some reflex??? Pls guide , I have tried , with test throw 10 to 20ft around , But both time it's , goes up and roll back ??? Why My CG is balanced, Hope some guide well ,

[@tariqyounus3880]

I used watch you videos , hope you will guide

[@smacfe]

DLG is so addictive, but the constantly breaking fuses get tedious and expensive.

[@blakelove4058]

Man that looks fun. I wish I was able to try it. But sadly I cant, I'm in a wheel chair. I mostly mess with flat 3d foamies now.

[@CthulhuJon]

There are a few electric DLG models out there now, where you can just use the motor to launch to 50m then switch it off and try to thermal from there. e.g. some come in both f3k and f5k ( electric ) variants. e.g. Sabre, Maxflight, E-kite, Kestrel. just look for carbon f5k models.

[@blakelove4058]

@CthulhuJon Thanks for the reply. Do you have any recommendations??

[@CthulhuJon]

@@blakelove4058 maybe falcon f5k is best bang for your buck.

[@aussiedigger1441]

A DLG is the fastest plane out there in the right conditions! Look up the world's fastest DLG it's truly amazing.

[@rustybayonet]

You were doing fine 3 years ago. What happened?
