Nicely made planeDon't really understand the 2p design.. In the end i permanently keep the tape on and travel as 1p Unless need to board a plane. Nice that rudder can be detach. Flying characteristic are great easy to fly but need lots of effort to excell. Circle thermal super well

Fantastic gliderThis is my first R/C glider in some 25 years, I used to fly a lot of winch launched and slope soaring gliders, as well as other R/C, so felt fairly confident in leaping in at the expensive end on DLG. The kit arrived reasonably soon considering the shortage and demand as I ordered soon after it was first released. It's well built, nay fantastically built to a very high standard of finish, and nearly everything has already been done for you. A few evenings of work will see you finish the build in short order. The manual was clear and easy to follow. The greatest difficulty I had was in setting up the radio. This is partly due to my own lack of OpenTX familiarity and partly because DLG templates online all cater for single flaperons each side. Luckily I got some very useful help from PaulR on Barcs who knows a lot more about OpenTX and adapted some of Mike Shellim's work. That template was brill for me. I didn't expect how delicate the DLG model was, and PaulR reported the same. My guess is that all high performance DLGs are somewhat delicate, and that perhaps the Yoda is still slightly more. It's definitely cutting edge and brought the envy on from other Barcs F3K pilots. It handles and flies very nicely, even for someone who is fairly rusty like myself. (I have flown FPV drones quite a lot recently, but they are very different to fixed wing). I've managed quite a few thermal flights even in the bad weather we've had this summer. Last time I was out I got 15 minutes of thermal time on my first throw.
