@@Heathfloors Thank you! Yes, this glider can catch thermals easily because its launch heights. I have to go to the other flying place where I can launch without fears of the trees catches. ;)

@@MoritzWeller Hi, I just see your video of the hobby king 1.5m DLG. That is a very nice DLG, I wanted to buy one. Yes, it is a very addictive hobby.

@@goldenfish77 yeah its unfortunate Hobbyking decided to discontinue it. There is too little affordable F3K models in my opinion, thats why I'm getting a few used ones first, but even that is not that easy, most ppl seem to be too happy with them to sell them. 😄

Приветствие! К четвёртому каналу был припаян разъём, но это можно решить и без пайки с помощью Y-сервокабеля. Таким образом, приемник получает питание по 5 каналам.

@@goldenfish77 Спасибо вам большое, я как-то сам не додумался до этого. Будем тоже пробовать.

Yes, I think so. My Mini Dart 2 (1m wingspan) DLG's weight is about 144g.

I would see it! Good luck for the first flights!

How went your maiden flight?

Hi, I don't know what you meant? What remote control do you have? It is difficult to explain the settings of each flight mode and the launch mode on the remote control, but there is a description that you can follow to set it yourself. I found such a page for you: rc-soar.com/edgetx/basics/flightmodes/index.php And one like this: www.rc-thoughts.com/2019/07/dlg-launch-and-zoom-mode/ This is a very useful little description, I remember I also used this: www.armsoar.com/pages/initial-glider-setup I hope that it helps for you!

@@goldenfish77 Thank you for your time and effort directing me to these sites. I'm familiar with EdgeTx, what I was asking was not the tutorial for particular radio, bet control surface ideology. For example what means launch mode? Both ailerons a little bit down as in case of flaps? But I will try to find those answers in your links. Thanks again.

@@Mr.Laidukas Yes, but after launch mode you can set a zoom mode immediately with a time switch. So you activate launch mode, then you toss away the glider and then you release the launch mode switch and then a timer will automatically start approx. for 2-3 seconds, which allows the plane to fly high with the least air resistance by lowering all the wings. Good luck for the first flights!

Thank you my friend!

I just see it in this video from 0:20. ua-cam.com/video/OooHBJEyYK8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JWFPV He used some TESA tape on the fuselage under the nose cone (in front of the wings). It just clicks and fixes the nose cone. I like it very much.

Thank you Daniel! I like this "mini" dlg!

Thank you for your words!

Thank you for the tips, I will try it! I would like to make a stronger wing, and a would like to buy an other larger prop.

Thank you! Yes, I like to fly above that building next to the park. It can cause some hard lifts.

Thank you for your comment! Yes, it is the glass layup. I wish you to experience this level of gliding!

Thank you bro!

@@goldenfish77 no thank you for taking about 300€ from my pocket ahahahah

Thank you! Yes, it is dangerous flying nearby the trees because the turbulence air.

Thank you for your comment! I do not know it, because one of my friends recommended it and I bought it through him.

@@goldenfish77 OK, but after some research I would say I am pretty sure it is the gfk version... and I have ordered one now hihihiiiiiiii...

@@Johnstonsonsen I am happy to hear it!

Thank you!

Hi, I am glad to hear that! I choose the Radiomaster TX16s controller with OPENTX protocol and an FS2A 4ch RX with 1s LiPo.

Hi, there are four channels for the four servos. Of these, 1 servo is the elevator, 1 servo is the side rudder and 2 servos are the aileron. The ailerons occupy two channels, the throttle and the brake. Yes, it's a bit complicated to describe, but I tried. On my radio, approx. There is room for 8 flight modes and these must be marked for each flight mode, which aileron should be deployed. In English, you have to build the program thinking about the different movements, what you want, what happens when you press a lever or switch. There are many different types of programming, almost everyone has a different way of controlling and switching and activating flight modes. I couldn't find a suitable program anywhere either, so I made one for myself, the logic of which I know. After that, you always copy that one program to your machines, just modify them a little. The point is that you have to play with the - and + directions so that when you want to brake with the ailerons, both wings have to move down. I was also able to achieve joint movement by trial and error, because it doesn't matter what mode the remote is in (mode 1, mode 2), and the AETR sequence also affects what happens. It's hard to describe it this way, but maybe someone here on YT has already made a video about it. Maybe here: ua-cam.com/video/mFxP_WRzsNM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DavidJust

Yes, it is a very interesting theme. We can do trimming just calm weather. I just trimmed this glider so I do not use any plus weight in the nose or the tails. It can glide an epic way. I am just waiting for a suitable weather for flying. ;)

The approximate price is 280 EUR (with all the electronics, in 2023).

Thank you! I think that this little glider has a very good performance.

Yes, they support the 1s battery.

@@goldenfish77 thank you.

Yeah, thank you! ;)

Yeah, it is! You need to have sharp vision when you are already flying at a height of about 200m... ;)

Thank you Daniel!

Köszönöm szépen. Majd egy nagyobb légcsavarral próbálkozok. Meg a farokrészeket (felületeket) lehetne kisebbre venni, könnyíteni.

Hi Raphael! You really inspired me with the DIY F5J to try out how it is possible to reach a sufficient height for gliding anytime, anywhere. I will still watch your constructions from your videos to build a glider of similar size. How is your motor plane doing, have you flown with it since then?

@@goldenfish77 Hi Peter. I got a little scared of the size and weight. I've bought a new ESC and made the nose longer with PET bottle, so the CG goes forward and I can reduce balast led. When it's all ready, I'll also find a safer place to fly.

Hi, I am in middle Europe. I use composite construction for making lighter and stronger wings and tails. I think that for these motor gliders could fly nicer with composite parts.

If you ever get stuck , i tend to use the split mould method of plug mould , made from foam or wood , then take a split mould from that, im sure you are close enough to send me plugs or section drawings that i can turn into moulds,They are super cheap or free on small jobs and help me on my quest for a better boat mould, Regards Paul @@goldenfish77

Thank you my friend! You also inspired me in this theme with your motorized DLG. You flight lots of minutes with motor gliders, I saw.

@@goldenfish77 Thanks, my Friend!

Thank you! I wish you to build one similar thermal glider.

Thank you! Maybe I will improve this glider so that it can easily catch thermals. By reducing the size of the tails, there should be no nose weight.

Thank you for your words. I think the motor can take this hobby to another dimension.

Thank you Phil, I think that it is an easier way to reach a higher start height for gliding.

@@goldenfish77 that is true on a no lift day - I do like the challenge of finding a thermal too!

@@bracesport Yes, on a warm calm afternoon it could be a right way to reach height for gliding. But my MD2 is a fantastic glider. After I have found the right CG I can toss 5-6m + and so stable for gliding. It is incredible what a performance it has...So what can your BAMFs look like? OMG

@@goldenfish77 the BAMF is a great machine, but I also like building my own gliders!

@@bracesport Yes, we like to form our own gliders and research the best construction solutions.

Sorry, I do not know. I like and know that 2ch glider, but that is all.

Google "Airfoil Tools", then select Ag03 airfoil in the chord(s) you want...

Köszönöm szépen! Nemsokára, csak most elég ramaty az idő. A széljárás nem kedvező...

Thank you!

Thank you for your words. The wings a little bit weak, but I try to reinforcement it. I will test it soon.

Thank You!

Szia. Igen, én mind a négy alját leszedtem, majd összeszigszalagoztam (elektronika rögzitése a felső maradék szervóburkolathoz), hogy be lehessen csukni a "kabintetőt".

Értem, köszönöm szépen! A szervó karokból se faragtál? Valahol olvastam, h abból is kellett. 🎉

@@SupraBp1 Úgy emlékszem, hogy a kisebb, rövidebb szervó karokat használtam föl (négy ágú, ebből levágtam hármat), amelyeken alapból csak egy db luk volt. Kb. 0,6cm a hosszuk. Azt hiszem, hogy kellett valamit mókolni, hogy elférjenek, talán fejjel lefelé kellett őket a motorra tenni...egy pici CA -val talán rögzítve, hogy le ne essenek menet közben.

Kezdem egyre jobban megkedvelni ezt a kis glidert. Berendeltem egy motor szettet, hátha sikerül hozzá épteni egy hajót is...és persze hátha lesz valaki, aki segít is működésre bírni. ;)

@@goldenfish77 Csak lesz tán valaki...

Thank you! Yes, it is. It is very smooth, I think. I feel that it has not got any drag.

@@goldenfish77 have you set up a thermal mode yet - if so, does it slow it down?

Yes, I set up the thermal modes. Yeah it will help me, when the gliding is too fast. If this glider is so good, how can yours be? OMG ;)

Yes, I think that factory gliders are very smooth. But we are able to make nice DIY composit wings too for some enjoable flights. Thank you Antonis!

Thank you Daniel! You told me that I will enjoy it. I just had to sand the throwing peg to be able to let go in time.

Thank you! I do not know that I could see your 1m glider's flights. I am thinking about the motorized thermal gliders because our park is too small for DLGs. I think this field could be enough for a landing and a take off area.

@goldenfish77 that would be a cool project! I wonder what a good weight is for a 1.5m electric scratch...hmmmmmmmmmm lol 😎👍

@@amonus-air2160 There is a cool homebuilt project on YT in this theme. I will link it. Yes, it would be a great project. I think that the weight have to be similar just the ingredients have to be weaker than the DLG's strong constructin.

Thank you! Yes, I think that this DLG would like to fly after some rest. I like that it is 1m because our park is so small now. I hope that you enjoy your factory DLG too!
