The Dream-Flight Libelle is an affordable DLG (discus launch glider) that is a great performer at an great price. Here is a link to our full review - www.rcgroups.co...
I know its an old video but i see the Libelle is still available, so this must be a great DLG to stand the test of time, where other low cost ones become discontinued. Speaking of which, the HS-35HD Ultra Nano Servos that it is paired with are no longer available these days 2024. What would be the equivilent one would use these days, being everything become digital?
+Scott Ewers Yep your correct about the battery and most decent lipo battery charges will be able to charge that battery,good RC/lipo battery charges come with an array of functions these days,one being they can charge most battery types out here,including NiMH,NiCd,lead acid/PB,lipo and the list can go on,even the cheaper ones will do most of what i just put in that list. Happy flying.
Looks like a sweet little DLG not that i know much about them,but what with FPV taking off in a big way i never got around to getting a decent DLG,but i do intend on trying them out one day,maybe not this summer but maybe next year who knows. ;-) Your buddy (Jason) seems to be a natural at flying them and he was really making it look easy while flying it so low to the deck,good on him i say.

Looks good but it appears that people are only giving a mediocre throw. Is it fragile that you are worried it will break on a normal DLG throw ?
Yeah it won't take a 100% launch like a composite DLG.
why not make it with the wing further back and a smaller battery near the cg to avoid altitude loss after throw? correct if im wrong
What is the name of the color tape they used? My English is not very good.
It’s from Uline Which is a major supplier of shipping and packaging supplies
Great video. Thanks for posting. A little help with the German... It's pronounced libel-eh.😁
Cheers,
Chris
Pretty cool. I take it the battery is a nimh, around a 4.8v 200 to 300 mah. Wondering what type of charger is used?

I'm not sure I see the need for a servo on the ailerons for a learner glider.
it's more than just a learner glider, it's a glider for all skill levels. ailerons give you the ability for flaperons which aid in thermal hunting.
Hi, may I know how can I buy the Libelle DLG?
It's available at Hyperflight.
Cheers,
Chris
6:10 perpetual flight? :D
$400?? why
Because of the materials used...most are carbon fiber (wing and fuselage).
And they’re also usually handmade
Don't be fooled folks. That is really a man with the ponytails.
