The very first in its size and class, the Opteryx Micro DLG RC Plane stands at 1.3oz ( 36 grams ) with a wing span of only 22″ inches, its the smallest balsa DLG glider that will take new heights, Literally . Small enough to fit in your palm, yet strong enough for the hardest throws, the Opteryx DLG glider is a streamlined design with reinforced carbon fiber running across the wings all the way to the launch peg.
Easy assembly is the beauty of this micro rc bird with very few parts, it should take no more than an hour to assemble. All parts are laser cut using the finest balsa wood and birch plywood, carbon fiber pushrods, peg and reinforced carbon fiber tubes within each wing, you can hand launch this micro RC bird like glider over 100 feet and glider her right in your palm or catch thermals and fly for 30 minutes, yes 30 minutes with just one battery which is included in the kit.
With detailed instructions, you simply lay each peace on the plan and use think CA glue to join all the parts like a puzzle.
The Opteryx DLG has incredibly tight handling with low wing loading which performs beautifully from 30 minute constant thermal flight to slope gliding.
Launch Peg can be installed for left handed or right handed throws.

Having recently flown a few DLG gliders and truly been addicted from the concept of a motorless rc plane, the perfect throw, the understanding of wind, thermals and gliding to the final controlled catch, i have decided to create a micro version of these DLG gliders. Since the smallest DLG in the market is around 35″ wingspan, i introduce the Micro-D. This design and concept of course is nothing original, i have seen many rcgroups threads on how to build your own micro DLG. So this is my version, a 21″ wingspan, small enough to fit in your pocket, ( ok maybe not that small) but a great fun indoors and outdoors. On the perfect day, with heat rising from the ground and cumulus clouds above, you can easily thermal sky high over 30 minus of flight time with this little DLG glider. Remember, it does not like wind to much so a calm sunny day is a dream. Fly it at your local park as i have in the video below, it truly is hours of fun with just one battery.
This Micro DLG was redesigned based on Quark by Adam Woodworth, wing airfoil, length, width and dihedral have been modified along with tail feathers.
