The Super Mini Topsky is a fun to fly mini discus launched glider with ailerons, making it suitable for light wind slope soaring as well as flat field thermal soaring. It is very tough and flies excellently, making it a great first aileron glider. This lovely little model is supplied as a very complete kit, requiring a few evenings to put together. The kit includes a complete accessory pack, including all linkages and a plug and socket for connecting the aileron servos. See the good installatio...
The Vladimir's Models Elf is a 1m lightweight mosquito class mini discus launched glider (DLG) that weighs only 95g ready to fly. Being so light no effort or rotation of the body is needed to throw it, and even an unfit and arthritic person like myself can launch it to 25m very easily (and with no aches the next day). After a brief dusk trimming session I caught a thermal and specced out on the very first launch on the first daytime flight - the feeling of accomplishment is really brilliant! Th...
The Super Topsky 2 is an economical, fun, and lightweight discus launched glider. Its Drela airfoils and low weight make it a surprisingly good DLG, and its kevlar, carbon and blue foam construction ensure it is tough and ding proof, making it ideal for sport rough and tumble flying off the flat or small slopes. The performance enhancement over the previous Topsky 2 Viper version come from: a) Improved aerodynamics. The wing was upgraded to a 3-panel planform from the original 2-panel design. T...
The well regarded Longshot 3 is a good value entry level molded 1.5m DLG – the Longshot-3 is very tough and easy to fly, making it a great trainer. The Longshot 3 uses up to date composite construction methods, and a modern Drela airfoil, which keeps it light and gives it excellent performance. The Longshot3 DLG is a substantial improvement on the Longshot 2, with better aerodynamics and a molded glass / foam / glass wing, with lots of carbon in the right places. The Longshot’s fusel...

Two-piece wing DLG for right handed throwers. The Blaster 2 is a high tech F3K r/c hand launched glider utilising airfoils designed specially for DLGs by Mark Drela. To help with storage and transportation this updated Blaster 2 has a wing that splits into two parts – this is cleverly implemented and only adds 6g to the model's weight. The break is asymmetrical, and the wing that is used for launching is fully bolted to the fuselage, so the wing join only has to take the forces on the outs...
The Akcent-2 is a molded composite discus launched glider model beautifully made by Dmitriy Lomovtsev of LD-Models in Russia. The Akcent has several innovative features in addition to a sleek graceful design and a proven airfoil set (modified AG series from Mark Drela). The wing is molded with a CNC routed foam core inside a double layer fibreglass skin. A diagonal grid of carbon tows is laid under the skin to maximise torsional stiffness – this is called a disser layup. The solid foam co...
The Blaster 3 is the long-awaited successor to the award winning Blaster line of 1.5m DLGs from Vladimir's Models. The Blaster 3 is a great improvement in DLG design, building upon the experience gained in development and manufacturing of the first two Blaster versions. It meets all the requirements for a competition level discus launch glider, while being suitable for intermediate and even less experienced pilots. This "Light" version has a glass and Rohacell wing skin, with a substantial carb...
The Blaster 3 Spread Carbon is a version of this popular discus launched glider (DLG) made from Vladimir's version of spread tows of carbon fibre. The very thin spread carbon fabric extends over all the wing, giving these benefits: - Stiffer wing launches up to 10% higher. - Tougher skin withstands collisions and handling errors will less damage. - Less chance of damage from a mis-catch or in transport. - Extra strength, with small weight increase - pre ballasted! - Attractive new carbon black ...
The Fireworks 4.2 Disser is a high launching very competitive discus launched glider from the renouned manufacturer PCM. It is a well proven design with Drela airfoils, a lightweight low drag structure, and forgiving handling. The wing uses the modern “disser” layup of diagonally laid carbon tows. This gives maximum torsional rigidity with a minimal weight. The conservatively tapered one piece wing has 7 degrees of dihedral, which gives good stability, allowing it to be flown to the...
The Stark is a superb new discus launched glider from LD Models which has been compared with the Stobel for its outstanding performance. It is intended for more advance DLG pilots, who will appreciate the highest levels of performance, however it is easy to fly, and will bring out the best in all fliers. The Stark is available in three versions, the kevlar with disser (criss cross carbon diagonal wing bracing) version sells for £459, the carbon Dbox version is £499, and the all spr...
The JJ Edge is a superb all molded implementation of Gerald Taylor's ground breaking Edge design. Widely acknowledged as the next stage on from the Super Gee II, this model incorporates Mr Taylor's state of the art custom airfoils to allow the model to launch very high and to range far. The higher than usual flying speed allows the model to cope with wind well, and the superb finish and detail design get the best from the advanced aerodynamics. The JJ Edge's wing is supplied with two Hyperion D...
The Fireworks 5-Flow is the most competitive discus launched glider in the renowned PCM range, only released after an intensive development period. The FW Flow 5 is mostly new, with many improvements in materials, construction, and aerodynamic design. Numerous prototypes, and more than 1000 test launches were necessary before they were satisfied that the design was perfect. Maximum performance while retaining good handling were the most important design goals. Marcus Podivin chose the highly a...
