Strike 2 1m DLG

Just love how this DLG flies, remarkably stable and quick on its feet for a 1m with great agility. It thermals well although finding the settings for easiest turning takes some time. I have flown it in Bft 3-4 wind often and eventually even made some ballast for it to make it up to 20g heavier. The build needs some planning but it's not overly complex if you are familiar with DLG techniques like building single pull control surfaces and getting the flaperon deflections right.

I much prefer a more rearward CoG on this plane, I am currently at 59mm. I set the rudder deflection at 13mm. Also I added quite some snapflap. These settings helped agility but I also find finding and staying in lift a lot easier.

A drawback of this plane might be that the wing dents pretty easily and the tail surfaces tend to break on tough landings. I fly on somewhat rocky ground and had to do some repairs. A good trick to get dents out of the wing is to carefully pour boiling water over them. Also I would get some syringes and laminating epoxy for repairing delamination bubbles on the wing or tails.

All in all a great flying plane that comes close to 1.5m performance, I absolutely adore it Service and shipping to the Netherlands from Neil was great as ever.

Phantastic workmanship and phantastic colour on the wingtips. I love it and can't wait to build it up.
Unbelievable fast shipping - payed on tuesday and the package arrived on friday! In Germany.

Thank you for your help.
I got late with repeated business trips but today I was able to fly for the first time.
I intended to test flight, but I am surprised to go up beautifully.
Production was like a beginner because DLG is the third aircraft, but it was completed with 107 g batteries.
Servo = Hitec HS-5035HD × 4
Lipo = 1 s 300 mAh 112 g (including ballast) CG = 59 mm

What a lovely little dlg built in 3 days and very easy to assemble. The install was tight but was easy with the help of the links provided on this page. My setup 4 sd100 spektrum 6 Chanel Rx (with out the hard case) and a enlighten 2cell 200mah lipo. The maiden flight was just a hand lunch and needed no adjustment so went for a Half attempt launch and easy got 20-30m with a few adjustments to flight modes went for full launch and would say 50m easy with good flight time to super light and can fly in strong wind to.
Would I recommend? Yes I would and want to buy another asap just to be greedy on a 200mah 2cel lipo I was getting over 1 hour flight time of launching and flying continuously so will stock up on them for a good days flying. Thank you very much guys at hyper flight for providing us in the UK with such blessed model
