Mini Dart 2 1m DLG

J'ai acheté un Dart V2 carbone... et à peine quelques jours après la réception...J'en ai acheté un deuxième en fibre de verre!! Ces modèles sont IMPECABLEMENT fini, les surfaces sont magnifiques! La qualité des modèles correspond à celle de modèles beaucoup plus chères! Ils ont été envoyé TRES rapidement et étaient parfaitement conditionnés! Mon expérience d'achat avec Hyperflight est vraiment très satisfaisante, je compte faire encore de nombreux achats auprès de cet EXCELLENT vendeur!

Et de deux! Je n'ai pas pu attendre Janvier, j'ai commandé et reçu un deuxième Mini Dart , mais cette fois-ci en version fibre de verre! La qualité de fabrication est tout aussi irréprochable que la carbone, l'envoie a été ultra rapide et parfaitement sécurisée!! Mon expérience d'achat avec Hiperflight est vraiment au top!

INCROYABLE!!! J’ai réceptionné mon Mini Dart ce 30/10/2023 et les finitions sont irréprochables!! Tout est parfait!! Le rapport qualité /prix de ce planeur est la meilleure du marché!! J’attends le début de l’année prochaine pour en acheter un deuxième!!

The quality craftsmanship and shipping of this kit to the USA was Excellent! This is my first high performance DLG so I have suggestions for the work instructions. The orientation of the elevator/ rudder spring wire installation with some more detail would be helpful. State to cut 2 5mm long tubes from the aileron tubing for the R/E guide tubes. Making the first cable loops for R/E attachment were successful but for the servo attachment the cable loop bends were to short and frayed and was unable to insert into the keeper tubes. Longer wire cables or larger diameter keeper tubes might be beneficial. Hyper flight is an excellent company and I look forward to purchasing another kit in the future, thank you!!

Excellent service, great model, quick delivery and very well packaged. Highly recommend Hyperflight. Looking foward to getting a 1.5 mtr dlg sometime from Neil!

Best quality for the price. The fuselage is accessible for most servos under 8g, finishing of carbon or fiber glass is as good as top range 1.5m dlgs.

The best shipping service across Europe&UK, wish to give 500 stars to Neil. Thank you Neil for producing me the best quality airplanes wherever in UK China mainland or HK, well done!

Shipped the kit to the USA, at my house in 7 days, way faster than I ever expected. Kit arrived well-protected and un damaged, every single piece was in top condition. Assembled the kit as my first DLG and it was a great introduction, had a surprisingly successful maiden flight in light wind. Definitely plan to get more DLG models from Neil.

The MD 2 was my first DLG. Shipping was fantastic, and the build went well. It is a blast to fly, but wow is it sensitive to the least bit of wind. I now mainly fly 1.5m models, but will grab the MD 2 when I head to the local school field that is near my home.

A really great kit easy to build. I 3D printed a mount to use emax 9051 servos mounted on their side. Works a treat. Great service from Hyperflight. Can’t fault anything

I received my Mini Dart 2 for Christmas 2022, the model arrived in a sturdy box and everything was immaculately packaged. The quality of the components were extremely high, with no flaws at all.
The assembly went well with only minor niggles installing the torque springs, this was very fiddly and the tail components were very easy to damage, I suggest taking some of the spring out to 45 degrees. I also suggest you install one end of the spring at a time into the holes, as the foam can easily open out under tension.
Also the slots for the aileron rods made in the fuselage should be just above the mould line of the fuselage, I copied the photos and they were a tad too high for a straight run.
I installed the Bluebird Servos
Box which are a good fit, with only a mm or so needed to widen the servo tray, the screw holes had to be filled with epoxy on one end as these were a bit out and needed re- drilling. I have also fitted a single cell 502 mah Lipo connected through a voltage booster to 6 volts. With the battery and Micro Hitec receiver right up the nose it appears to balance well, although the weather is too rough for test flights.
All up weight comes in at 145G.
Very pleased so far.

A great plane that fly very well. I have used it a lot. This is my second one. I had a transport accident. A great plane for a beginner. I have made quite some 10 minutes flights. It is easy to repair. It can take a lot of beating when I have made mistakes or flying in very turbulent conditions. Be careful when installing so you get the CG right. With the right CG it can really be floaty in weak conditions.

Order received very rapidly (as I have now come to expect from Hyperflight !!) Superb build quality and finish. It will be a while before I start to put together (not really a "build" !). Packaging could have stood the worst of any mishandling.

Extremely well made airplane. Fit and finish is superb. Tried to use "cheap" 4.5 g Turnigy 1440A servos. After slight modification to servo tray, I installed the servos but found that the servos we're too tall. I then ordered Blue Bird BMS-1010MG servos from HyperFlight which is a much, much better servo. Height of this servo is perfect. However, because I modified the original servo tray, I needed to make a new one. Designed a new one using Fusion 360 an tried different materials. (PLA, PETG, NylonX). PETG and NylonX we're too flexible. PLA at a thickness of 1.5mm was perfect and was the same weight as the original fiberglass servo holder.
Also, Neal's help with a shipment issue was really great. Fantastic company to buy from.

Bourght a carbon MD2 about 4 months ago and after spending a month trying to build it and ultimately gave up and gave it to a friend to build, after it was built and set up if flew great, probably has 2-300 launches on it but a few weeks ago I launched it and cracked the bottom of the fusilarge (never crashed it) so got a carbon repair kit and reinforced the bottom of the fusilarge and just test flew it and maybe 5 throws in the wing mount ripped off the fusilarge and the wing folded.
Honestly quite disappointed with it, flies great but don't want a glider that's going to fall to bits in normal use

Perfect shipping from hyperflight and a lot of fun to a fair value. The MD 2 is a superb DLG. It's easy to fly, lightweight and has nearly no elevator momentum while switching the cambers.

I'm using four jx servo DHV56MG, Frsky grx6 receiver, Frsky X-Lite radio and 2S 240mAh battery. It's just a perfect fit without any balast.

This is my first DLG model. The quality of the molding & finish is to a very high standard 👍 The model was very well packaged in a very strong cardboard box. I am looking forward to installing the radio gear & flying this model.

Excellent service from Neil 👍 thank you 🙂

First full-house dlg (Elf being my starter dlg)
Great finish, outfitting was painless with lots of room in the fus. Maiden was faultless although I have dual rates on the elevator and even dialed in more as she was a little twitchy in the pitch but that could be my thumbs. In my opinion a great dlg at a reasonable price. Excellent service from Neil.

Excelente calidad, acabados impresionantes, llegó muy bien embalado y sin ningún daño, un DLG precioso,estoy muy contento con él.
Vendedor altamente recomendado y muy serio,es la primera vez que compró en Hiperflight y sin duda volveré a comprar.

Very satisfied

Well packed , lovely quality, be nice if some paper instructions included , hooe to build it slowly soon

Purchased the Mini Dart 2 arrived with in 6 days but someone bent the box. So to my disappointment the wing and fuselage was damaged. The fantastic team at Hyperflight were very good fix the problem and sent replacement parts. Now with a DLG that in good order to fly. Have flown it now and I love it but I’m new to DLG. Highly recommend it. I purchased the glass which is fine to me.

My 1st flaperon DLG, perfect follow on from my extremely worn out Big Vick. Great quality. Recommend using the correct servos as I didn't and it has made the install difficult.

Great entry int the world of DLG easy build for my first DLG, some pictures in the instructions could be clearer but it’s enough to get you close. The recommended bluebird servos don’t fit the supplied servo tray so I 3d printed a replacement.

Fine good, but little bit brittle. When i removed the adhesive which lock the position of the Fin, the coating was tore

nice model plenty of room in fuselage for radio, more room under wing than the dlg hawk rx

Very fast delivery 5 days to remote northern Norway. Great protective package. I’m very pleased with the quality and finish. I’m excited to start the build.

terribly disappointed with the quality control on the glider i received.
received with finger imprints on the wing. a crack in the fiberglass layup and just over all small scuff marks.
the fuselage doesn't hold to the nose at all and the tolerance is huge it will need to be fixed down adding weight to the nose.

Unbelievably fast delivery in great packaging. Ordered from Western Australia and received within a week. Don’t know how that happened. Very delicately manufactured glider with wonderful surface finish. Just be careful with the skin though as it can indent quite easily if squeezed. Servo mounting bay needed some minor mods to accomodate the superb KST servos (used epoxy to fill the gaps in plate.). Still yet to fly it but so far very impressed for the price. Great shop to deal with.

Looking at trying my hands at DLG, I was on the hunt for a 1m reasonably priced model, as I was not ready to invest hundreds of £s on something I might not like in the end. Read good reviews about the MD2 and found no better price then on Hyperflight (though I live in CZ). The glider was shipped pretty much the day of the order and arrived very quickly, very well packed with the BMS101 I had ordered too (note : avoid those). I was amazed by the quality and finish of the kit! Great set of accessories too, straightforward assembly, and it flies great!! Just be careful to land straight as the rudder is very thin and light and can bend break, but that's easily fixed with epoxy. Very happy with my purchase and HF service.

First carbon dlg for me. Arrived England to Fl in 3 days! Can’t comprehend how. Haven’t built it yet, but the workmanship is first rate. No ‘orange peel’ effect found on other more ‘bargain’ carbon ships. Will build and fly in the next few weeks after finishing my current build. Will update review then. First impression though… can’t go wrong here. An excellent value.

This is my first DLG, and I went with the glass layup Mini Dart 2 mainly because of the attractive price point, and the large, beginner-friendly fuselage. At the time of ordering, there were none of the BMS101-DMG servos available, so I used some EMAX ES9051's I had instead.

As another reviewer mentioned, the fuselage is roomy but not tall and the ES9051's did not fit as supplied. I removed the bottom of the servo case, and bored out the servo horns to install them upside-down and that worked fine. I would recommend just spending the extra money on the bluebirds and not worrying about it.

I installed a 6ch 5g LemonRX under the wing, leaving loads of room for a 500mAh 1S in the front with space to adjust for CG.

First flights have been delightful. The model does not require constant correction to keep it cruising along. It responds in a snappy, positive manner, and carries its energy well. It feels slippery in the air and has been a lot of fun so far.

The tail is VERY fragile to sideways forces and will bend easily. I have reinforced it with a little extra glass stripe.

Overall I recommend this to any beginner or someone looking for a small but capable DLG to keep around for those serendipitous flying moments.

I bought the fiberglass Mini Dart 2 and I found it well built and I am enjoying flying it. I'm in the eastern U.S. and it arrived from the U.K. within a week and was very well packaged. It was fairly easy to put together following the instructions on this site. The only minor thing to note is that although the nose has plenty of room, it is not tall, so, either plan to use short servos or plan to mount them horizontally. I used Bluebird BMS-101DMG and they fit well. I'm using an AR6610T receiver which is just a bit heavier, so, I put the battery under the wing so that it balanced without any additional weight. I'm still getting used to it, but, so far I've found it launches high enough to find thermals and it handles them well.

Hyperflight served very good as usual.
The flying performance is excellent. The only problem for an inexperienced pilot like me is the strength of the fuselage. The shock of the landing has induced several small cracks. I reinforced the fuselage by wrapping carbon roving and carbon spread. Does anyone have good idea to increase the strength?

Bought the new “Mini Dart 2 1m DLG”, my first DLG. I am very impressed, the quality of all the contents are 1st class. Everything fits perfectly, the finish is really nice. This is an easy build, the fuselage is nice and wide and accommodates the 4 servos on the provided tray very well. You will need to use micro servos no wider than about 9mm (those recommended are ideal, as are the batteries). The delivery as always is very quick, well packed and in a sturdy box.
