Thank you for the video! I am building my first DLG right now, and I'm new to Open TX. Your little "trick" with the mixes, and setting the weight to "0" was brilliant. It may be obvious to those experienced with Open TX, but not to someone just learning. Thank you again!
I strongly recommend you go google "Mike Shellim" and his DLG templates. They are fantastically well designed and complex setups that are exactly what you want in a DLG radio setup.
@@AndrewNewton Up to you entirely of course, but to take full advantage of a DLG, you'll want most of the functions Mike's setup gives. Better handling, more performance range for different situations in DLG, and just a much better flying DLG all around. A DLG setup like that offered by Mike's template is really only the start of tuning a glider - most pilots will spend hours and hours tuning the glider after that, and it's so amazing to see how much better a glider can fly after all that effort.
Thanks for the info CyclingMikey, I checked out all the info on his DLG Template. The DLG I'm building is a Poly wing with just 3 channels, Rudder, Elevator, and Flaps. So, for now it seems to be way too much. If/when I move up to a flaperon wing, I'll give his template a try. Thanks for pointing me to a great source for more advanced models.
FYI you might like to check out "Mike Shellim" and his OpenTx DLG templates. They are fantastically well designed complete setups with launch, zoom, speed, cruise, and thermal modes set up. Do a google for Mike. I did change my SF switch to a momentary version as I'm right handed and thus want a momentary launch switch for my left hand. I've used Mike's templates on both my Yoda DLG and on my Shinto Electric. p.s. love your videos Andrew, I'm a massive fan!
I thought to myself, he's a Lefty Launcher given the position of the momentary switch....Of course, the Zorro would be perfect for DLG guys...Loving my Zorro BTW, it just feels so comfortable...🤔😀🇬🇧
@@AndrewNewton Great idea Andrew, I guess it's harder to mistake which switch is the Arming one, you're right. I've disarmed a few Kms from home in the past, but knew the landscape fortunately. I must try that myself, thanks...😀🤔👍👍🇬🇧
Gosh, how quaint! 🙂 One always gets one's butler to launch one's DLG for one, which allows one to keep both hands on one's transmitter. Too much physical exertion can be jolly bad for one's complexion...
What we really need is a video showing how to inject enough hydrogen gas into these things to get them under the 250gm limit. There are laws restricting the overloading of one's servants these days! 😜
@@AndrewNewton thank you. I found a few interesting videos…I like the idea how to add additional push buttons switch to the backside of radiomaster for launch mode. Tnx
I see you've been busy rebuilding your old planes. I bet you had smiles and memories with every plane you pulled out of packing.. Are you allowed to hang them in the room yet???
Andrew what would be a good and or cheap DLG to get started I would not want to spend a fortune on carbon fibre bla bla bla just to throw it in a tree just want to dip my toe in
There are no good and cheap DLGs, good ones are not cheap and cheap ones are not good. Your best bet is to get hold of a second or third hand one. I bought an ancient Validol as my first DLG and it has been a great introduction to discus launch without risking close to a thousand pounds for a good new one
I bought a Mini Dart from Neil Harrison at Superfly. It's 1m, so easier to handle, and perhaps more robust. Thomas Lee at Armsoar strongly recommends it as a starter model. There's now an MD2, which has a bit more space in the pod, which is my only criticism of mine.
This HK V2 fitted that category when it was available. Maybe look for Topsky if they are still around. I don't like the Raven or Apollo balsa DLGs, too delicate

Amazing OpenTX work from Mike, but way too complicated for my fun flying.
Thanks Mickey, can use curves too, but offset is simpler

Thanks! Just what I needed for my Elf.
Glad I could help!
Andrew, great info! Thank You very much!
Thankyou so much Andrew you are a ledgend!!!
Happy to help

Thanks Andrew, exactly the guide I needed. I thought it should be done through flight modes. But simple enough!
Just a different way of achieving the same effect.

Righty here, using the TX16S just for the demo. Just configured the rear push button on the Zorro as the INAV arm button, so I cant disarm by error

I love the new video mr. Newton love the new studio you so high-tech now LOL

"50m this time Jeeves, if you will"
Dear. Andrew,
I am using radio master t16 ,
Need your guidelines for throttle setting ,
Which use for air break.
Pls make video and guide ,
Any suggestion how to add momentary switch function on the left side of Radiomaster?
Switches can be swapped but it involves soldering. Someone has done a how to video.

Free reign with my room so the planes will begin to appear the background

the dreamflight libelle is cheap
i'm sure there are some higher quality kits on ebay
