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.
