This channel is about building Radio Controlled Planes and especially gliders and specifically DLG's which fly majestic and cost a fraction of the high-end CF that are commercially available. I enjoy equally building and flying, while spending time with my loved ones!!!
This is a "know-how" free zone for anyone interested who doesn't know how to get started. My building methods are well tested and are growing and evolving while I progress as a scratch builder at this field.
Of course, this is not the only way to build a good flying plane, but it is the one I know and use :-)
All comments and suggestions are welcome. Please also share your build videos, if you decide to give it a try. A big part of what I do has been learned from others who also shared their videos before me!

1.5m Vs 1m dlg
Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
1m vs 1.5m, I've tested both back to back to get a good idea of the performance. Seems that the 1m catches the weak and narrow thermals a bit easier, what do you think?

Nice morning flight, I caught a thermal to as high as I could see (224m), and came down with style with some power loops and inverted flying.

This is a 1.5 m I received from Wang, a Chinese friend from Germany free of charge so I can build it and test it. Its a pre production test version dlg so expect some upgrades he said... Very beautiful dlg and very easy to fly!

1m Discus Launch Glider DLG - launching...
Thank you for all your vids….You are very much appreciated……Are the wings on this one sold balsa shaped & sanded to shape….aWhat is the wing chord?……again appreciate you….Dave….Australia..
Thanks Dave, yes solid balsa, chord is about 13,5cm most part, but needs to be waterproofed. Balsa is very sensitive to moisture, so better use clear coat on it or something similar.
Thinking about you, Mr. Filos. I hope you and your family are safe and well in Athens.
A. Filos, thank you for all you do for us. So many people get inspiration from your work I know I do! Thanks again. David
Thank you David for your kind words!
Man nice plank! That’s way snappier than the dream flight kit! Reminds me of some of Harris’s kits 🤙
I the fly sky transmitor capable to program snap flaps or when i use full brakes the elevator goes down?
Hey bloke, 1m, defs better in the light lift.....
👍🏼👍🏼
👍🏼👍🏼🍻
Please show us some plans pls😅
What airfoil are you using?
Bottom flat airfoil, take a look at the plans static.rcgroups.net/forums/attachments/8/4/5/1/7/7/a14101643-25-CamScanner%2008-06-2020%2016.51.07%282%29.jpg static.rcgroups.net/forums/attachments/8/4/5/1/7/7/a13761197-175-wing%20plan.jpg
Flies like what I would expect from a dlg costing $800. Great job.
Stupid questions maybe... I am trying to set up a 2-channel glider and would like to not use a heavy NiCad battery to power the receiver. You used a Lipo. How many cells and mAh? Since a Lipo has two wires (red and black), where do you connect it to the receiver? Each receiver port has three pins. Which pins do i use? I don't want to fry my receiver.
The lipo is 1s and can be 350mAh and above. You can use 2s lipo if only your servo and receiver can run on it. Black and red cables from the battery connect to black and red pins of the receiver so you must consult your receivers manual.
@@afilos - thank you!
Just got back for the 3rd time into RC airplanes with a balsa build F5L, can't do F3K bad back. Thanks for the excellent explanation on thermal, the best one on RUclips.
😁Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
I’ve been out of this hobby for awhile. Glad to see DLG’s are still around. The transmitters seem to have evolved though! What are you using?
Jumper T-Pro, and RadioMaster Pocket, both in ELRS protocol.
I also did this kind of lamination. The pp film can be pre-painted in the desired color (for example black).
Great video, new subscriber
Nice video, I own a 1m and a couple 1.5m, I don't fly my 1m very much anymore. I've never flown them back to back, thanks for sharing. Funny, we both launch around 40m Experiments for science 😜
Nice, for me its the opposite, I don't fly the 1,5m much, but my launches are higher then yours 😄, 50 with the 1m and 60 with the 1.5m. In this video I purposely launched low for a fair duel between the two.
@@afilos wish I could launch to 60m, my shoulder is not so great anymore, but probably more to do with me simply not flying my gliders enough, most of my videos are powered planes. I do have a couple DLG vids though if you're interested in checking them out.
@@CR5rc I have seen your dlg videos in the past 😁
I am building a 1.2 m dlg 4 ch same design as yours du you recommend the airfoil ag11 or you recommend a different airfoil for better flight performance
Nice, AG03 is the main airfoil to use tapered to AG11 or you can use the AG03 for the hole span.
Is this 0.41mm stainless spring steel steel wire for the torsion spring? Or is is carbon spring steel wire (aka music wire)?
Music guitar wire
@@afilos - Excellent, I can get that locally. Thank you for your answer!
Which dlg you prefer to have more fun with , higher launches , more easy to catch thermals 2ch or 4ch 1m dlg ?
Both are great, the 2ch for its simplicity, easy to set up, and the 4ch for more flight mode settings and wing camber adjustments.
Why did you step away from using the VCR tape?
VCR will sometimes or most likely tear when unwinding and then it is a pain to take it all off. PP film will always unwind effortlessly. PP film, on the other hand, leaves a noticeable mark on the surface which I don't mind.
If you put a lubricated screw into the nut, you don't have to be so careful with adding the silica/epoxy mix when glueing the nut.
Yes I am aware of that but sometimes you do things your own way for some or no reason 😁
@@afilos - so true! :)
Simple, strong, light. needs minimal tools. I believe that is what we call elegant! well done sir.
Thank you! I always try to build Simple, strong, light and with minimal tools 😁
Very good! Would you send one of these to Brazil? Thanks.
the bloopers looks like the way i fly 😀
i agree with charles ! great piloting , thanks
Wow.............for a little plane, it really moves across the sky !
Yes it does, thank you!
That was enjoyable. Hard to beat a nice slope soloaring session and looks like you have an awesome spot there. Nice! Nice build too!! Thank you .
Thank you too!
Very nice concept and packaging. Finally about to build a DLG now too, thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you, go for it!
Γειά σου Αντώνη! Καλοπεταχτο! Πολύ ωραία συσκευασία με το τηλεχειριστήριο μαζί το δένεις στη μηχανή και πας παντού. Είναι δική σου κατασκευή ή το πήρες κιτ;
Γειά σου Μύρων, δικής μου κατασκευής ή καλύτερα ανακατασκευής. Αυτό ήταν ένα απο τα πρώτα που είχα φτιάξει , 2-κάναλο RE, το έκοψα στην μέση και το ανακατασκεύασα σε 3κάναλο ΑΕ. Πολύ βολικό για να το παίρνεις μαζί σου!
Is it a kit to buy from you?
No Paul, too DIY to even think about selling it and there is no time for that kind of work.
Any smaller and you can put it in your pocket! Pocket DLG!
True! Thanks
Looks great!
Thank you Matt! It flies well too!
Perfect
Very nice job Antonis! Wow, what a high launch from your new 1m glider! Bravo!
Thank you! This is an old RE plane that I modified.
@@afilos Aha...I understand, but I think that your launch skill is very nice. I sometimes use 1m MD2 for fun but our park is smaller and smaller...I will go to the new flying area in the future. I like to see your new video!
Well done sir!
Thank you!
Awesome ... It looks so easy.
Very nice :)

Hello (a) filos, I followed your lead and have set up my TLite with a Matek R24V. After an interesting ‘process’ , I now have both vario and altitude call outs - thank you for suggesting this Tx Rx combination. I do have a question - maybe you can help. How did you set up your momentary Launch sequence? Thanks and happy soaring. PK
this is how I set it www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=50214805&postcount=78 my launch switch is on SCdown position. Easy, Flight modes need to be in that exact order for launch sequence to work.
If you also want to know how to set 1min interval call out or how to cancel the timer on every launch give me a shout at rc groups.
Hi, everything worked fine so far with my set up your tutorial is great. I got the mix working for the brake/thermal mode. My only problem ist that I set the endpoints for my aileron, so their movement is limited. For my brake/thermal mode I want to exceed the endpoints so I have more flap movement. Do you just don’t set endpoints for your ailerons and manage that with exp rate? Or do you know how I can make that possible? Greetings!
Hi Antonis, great stuff, 1 question - Are you leaving the first bit of glass, the area that rolls onto the boom first, dry? I'm assuming it wets from the resin in the rest of the layup?
Yes, it wets from the rest as you noticed!
Wet the layer as you place them down one by one and not all at once as shown in the video.
@@afilos Ok I hear you, thanks.
Thank you for your help. I use the same radio and just built my first DLG plane. I didn't know how to mix the start mode. So far. Thanks again!
If you had a 3D printer, I would use it to make alignment jigs to make the holes in the boom. I don’t know how to send you pictures!

Less than 11 g. Good work!
Awesome diy DLG boom Antonis! Your constructions are siplier and better. I like your new wing mounting system. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, hope your doing well!
Nice, always great to watch your builds!
Thank you!!!
C Would carbon fiber golf club handles work?
Yes! Better use PP sheets as shown in this video for easier release. ruclips.net/video/DhSFmUA-cMI/видео.html
What airfoil name of this Tail?
no airfoil just hand shaped🙂
nice job!. You've mastered wound CF booms! Good weight too...bravo
Thank you 🙂 Not perfect, just an alternative..
