This new high quality Curved Offset DLG Throwing Blade improves launch height and throwing comfort. Beautifully molded from carbon fibre, and contoured to maximise launch height and comfort. The offset allows for the discus launch glider wing's dihedral angle, so the fingers stay approximately vertically aligned, even though the glider's wing will be angled up by about 6 degrees.

To fit, open the end of the model's wing, and glue the tang inside the wing with epoxy or good quality thick CA. For excellent installation instructions see this
