Great video! Looking forward to the next. After this series I'll feel more comfortable ordering a kit next time. Although my factory pro build Deviant was perfection. Thanks for taking the time to do all you've been doing. I know from experience it takes a lot of time!
Hi, this is a really great video - the instructions with some kits are not that good, so seeing a model built like this is really helpful for a newb - thanks. Would your ‘precision gluing’ technique work for the mini dart 2? I think that model uses XPS foam and I was wondering if foam-safe CA + kicker would work? Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! The MD2 does use XPS, it's possible to use foam-safe CA but even then some foam-safe CA is not compatible with some XPS foams. I would recommend using epoxy when building the MD2.
Thank you for the detailed instructions. Curious why not use white gorilla glue for everything? or at least use it for primary and thin CA just for holding things together ?
Unfortunately there's no template PDF like the Deviant, but the build manual shows where to install the blade on the MD2: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showatt.php?attachmentid=15201259&d=1627513197
Simpler to fly, less parts to fail. When set up properly you can get very coordinated turns with a rudderless model, certainly more coordinated than many can do by flying rudder on their left thumb.
Got some messages about the CA needles - we sell them in our US store here: bit.ly/catipsusa
This tutorial is so informative and applicable for most any modern DLG installation. This has saved me a ton of time and frustration. Thank you!
Can't wait to get this Deviant in the air!
This is the video I need as a newb! The Dummies guide to dlg building. Thanks Thomas
You're very welcome!

We should be ready to publish the second part on Thursday. I'm glad to hear you like the build we did for you! Enjoy :)
Great video. Glad I had mine built : )
Factory RR builds makes life so much easier ;)
Very good your explanations and filming your actions thank you
Thank you!
I really enjoy your videos, super informative. Keep up the good work 👍
Such a good quality build video! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
You make it look so easyyyyy😭😭 think I just buggered my stabiliser
Take your time! I’ve had a LOT of practice 😅
@@ArmSoar luckily I have two stabilisers, my first effort was not real good. Haven't worked with carbon before.
You are an artist !!!
Thank you! :)

White gorilla glue isn’t strong enough.
Great videos
Nice video. Do you have a throwing blade positioning template for the Mini Dart 2? Getting ready to start my build and that would be handy. Thanks!

Please post a video of me making Electric Deviant
Why would someone choose a rudderless glider over a 4ch one? I guess not for weight savings, since as you said, you always fly with ballast!
I wonder that too, I initiate a turn with aileron but carry out the turn with rudder for a tight coordinated circle.
