The magic of flying DLG. Stream NXT low level thermal. 

Does your wife get royalties? 😄

Thank you CJPixel

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks - glad it was helpful to you.

Thanks - hope its useful.

Thanks for your kind words. Glad it was useful.

Thanks Barry. Yes I have some more content to share.

Thanks - yes it's a great DLG.

thanks Allen

Hope you enjoy it.

thanks Mat. I use an old Taranis X9d+ transmitter. Receiver is GRX6 which has telemetry built in. Enjoy your NRJ.

:)

thanks. Practice is the key. And lots of nice rising warm air.

thanks - yes lots of traffic

Thank you. It's Frsky ACCST with Taranis X9D+ and GRX-6 RX.

Yep cassette tape 😀

I recommend picking up a second hand model. Try to find local flyers or better still a local club where you can get advise. My first DLG was a 2nd hand Fireworks 4.2. Lots of information on DLG set up on the internet - too much to write here. We fly different wing camber in each mode. Speed no camber, cruise a little camber, thermal more camber. Can also have extra camber on a slider. Snapflap too and you also need launch modes. Good luck.

forward being closer to me and not out the back of it (further away). Either way - sink is bad :)

@@CirrusRC awesome. I must say I applied your strategies and had a 15 minute flight the first day! I must admit the conditions were good too :)

Hi. RTF all up weight on that DLG is 235grams. I have a lighter one but think the heavier fly's better in majority of conditions.

Will need to check and get back to you Paul.

@@CirrusRC Thanks

That would be nice!

Where are you based?

In HELL. I mean Las Vegas Nevada. U.S.A. Introduced to RC airplanes many many years ago through pure slope soaring in San Diego California. Now I fly 3D, Bush Planes and general Aviation RC airplanes. Really want to get back to the Gliders though. Everything in Las Vegas Nevada is regulated, so there's no soft grassy fields to land in. Can you suggest a Durable first time DLG to learn on. If possible. Even an inexpensive F5K Electric Glider. Something that can land on pavement. Hope I'm not asking for the impossible. THANKS. @@CirrusRC

I wouldn't advise landing any DLG on the pavement. They are made from carbon fibre and you will damage them - the fin also hangs below the fuselage so will scrape on the ground. If you can catch every time then that's not a problem. If you want something cheap and durable to start with then something like the Longshot 4 might be worth a look.

no GPS - just altimeter built into receiver.

thanks - that's why I love DLG so much.

Fishing for thermals is very addictive, be it remote control, or inside a sailplane.

hi - thanks. Differential helps + correct CG and also using the elevator in the turns to keep the nose up. Lots of rudder will cause yaw and dropping of the nose.

@@CirrusRC do you use inversed differential ? (more down than up ?) I thought is was best to use as much rudder as possible and as less ailerons as possible.

@@yannickver yes I do. All gliders fly differently. Always best to experiment with lots of different settings until you find sweet spot. Most of time you want small movements as smooth flying means less height loss.

Derek - something like a Longshot 4 is a good starter. Or try and pick up a second hand model - which is how I started out.

@@CirrusRC Thanks so much. I'll check that out for sure. I was looking at the ELF...that looks like a solid kit. Cheers!

@@derekbell5333 The Elf is a lovely model, but rudder elevator only and smaller span. Fly's best in very light winds and is less durable compared to say a Longshot 4.

@@CirrusRC Oh, ok. Thanks again for all the great info!! I'm stoked to get back into it.
