Thanks VERY much for taking the time to share your building experience! I assembled mine this weekend and your video was extremely helpful. Question... Down below there are comments about a thread on RCGroups discussing common problems... I cannot locate that thread and would be interested in applying modifications before having an issue. What are the mods to reinforce the glider for long term use? Thanks again, I look forward to many flight hours.
I never followed the RCG thread on this dlg. I ended up laminating the first 4" of the leading edge top and bottom. Prob not necessary but I still fly it today after a lot of abuse
Nice slope glider but it needs a lot of fixes to beef it up... ended up having all the problems with mine i read about on rcgroups that being said its awesome on the slope :)
Great. Thanks mate. Researched it and can get at local supper market.. thanks for this... so helpful.. And it is foam safe too right? BTW, we call is something else in Australia. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=492787
Where can I get libelle assembly manual. pdf file to download. I am a person who Like to see the how thing go together.before I buy. I like glider and I am a newbe and I have bought two glider one was a Phoenix 2000 and I am still working on it to glider it is a great plane. But not a glider yet..
@@7demo7review One more question, Jeff. I flew two meter two channel for about 5 years back in the 80's. And I built balsa and monocote ships. Could I get back into it with this plane?
bought it and the tail is being glued (by the factory) at a slight angle. Completely out of wack. Wouldn't recommend buying this crap anymore. Probably dropped QC at manufacturer after some years.
Starting to assemble my Libelle glider, and your video is VERY helpful, Jeff- thank you!

Jeff what did you use to laminate the wings with?

Thanks, I saw that thread- will put some inserts or epoxy under the wings for support
Great video. Was actually thinking of getting one of these.
Still new to hobby though... lol
What was the alcohol that is good for removing Hot Glue?
Denatured alcohol- works amazing!
Great. Thanks mate.

Hi, I can using my graupner control for this glider? Thank you.
This video was very good, big help for me.
Yes!
I'm trying to put a libelle together. Do you have to trim the aileron push rods?
Sorry, I don’t remember
Have you thought of bagging the wing with light weight glass to beef it up ???
+Robert P. Avery Sr. Nope- not needed- any extra weight really affects this plane

+Gary Stephenson not sure, the instructions are quite detailed though
Where did you get that soldiering iron.
+Robert P. Avery Sr. Radio shack- it's awesome!
As beginner how would I know what electronics to purchase and well as transmitter . All the programming sounds scary
This is definitely not a good beginner plane! Look up Flite test beginner series
@@7demo7review Do you mean not good for beginners as a build, or flying, or both?
Paul Gross both!...
@@7demo7review Thanks Jeff....

Can you tell me what servos you used for your build?
This one had the stock servos but some have gone bad- I used the hobby king servos as the replacements
Thank you...
so did the glider come with servos?????
no
do the serves come with the kit???
+Luke Clifton no servos are included - theirs at very expensive- I bought servos from Hobbyking
if i cover wings and tail with packing tape do you think it will become alot haevy? sorry for bad english ;)
Tail won't need protection- it usually just breaks off... with all planes, when you make changes you must check and adjust cg
What receiver are you Using?
Lemon rx micro rx
Thank you
