    You put a big smile on my face when I could hear you excitement with the first launches 😊 And what a performer your MD2 is, even in such damp, cloudy conditions 👍 I can see some great thermal flights coming from you with this soon.....

      Thank you Carl! Yeah, it's crazy how exciting it is to start flying a new glider. I was very happy, now I can sense what this hobby should be about... ;) Yes, this rainy, calm weather came in handy for a little test. Then the sunnier and windier times will come...

      Yes, it is a very interesting theme. We can do trimming just calm weather. I just trimmed this glider so I do not use any plus weight in the nose or the tails. It can glide an epic way. I am just waiting for a suitable weather for flying. ;)

      Thank you Phil! Yes, it's unbelievable how "easy" it is to start with such a factory DLG. It has no air resistance. I hope I don't do anything with it in the future that would spoil this perfect shape. Now that I think about it, wow, what could your BAMF DLGs be like.

      @@amonus-air2160 Hi! Thank You, that's clear now. I understand, I was also very impressed by the world of DLG. Now I'm thinking in terms of construction, seeing the construction of this Mini Dart 2, that it should be solved how the plane of the wing matches the fuselage, so that a removable wing can always be installed in exactly the same way. 100% accuracy is very important here. How do you attach the wing? I'm thinking about buying a 3D printer to make a POD and pilon for tails...What do you think about it?

    • @goldenfish77
      @goldenfish77  7 месяцев назад +1

      Hi, I don't know what you meant? What remote control do you have? It is difficult to explain the settings of each flight mode and the launch mode on the remote control, but there is a description that you can follow to set it yourself.
      I found such a page for you: rc-soar.com/edgetx/basics/flightmodes/index.php
      And one like this: www.rc-thoughts.com/2019/07/dlg-launch-and-zoom-mode/
      This is a very useful little description, I remember I also used this: www.armsoar.com/pages/initial-glider-setup
      I hope that it helps for you!

      @@goldenfish77 Thank you for your time and effort directing me to these sites. I'm familiar with EdgeTx, what I was asking was not the tutorial for particular radio, bet control surface ideology. For example what means launch mode? Both ailerons a little bit down as in case of flaps? But I will try to find those answers in your links. Thanks again.

    • @goldenfish77
      @goldenfish77  7 месяцев назад +1

      @@Mr.Laidukas Yes, but after launch mode you can set a zoom mode immediately with a time switch. So you activate launch mode, then you toss away the glider and then you release the launch mode switch and then a timer will automatically start approx. for 2-3 seconds, which allows the plane to fly high with the least air resistance by lowering all the wings. Good luck for the first flights!

    Great to see this as I'm about to buy this glider, I'm new to discus launch and use opentx like you do, can you explain your launch mode setup on your radio and how you do the launch sequence please? Also which servos are you using in this glider. Thank you

    • @goldenfish77
      @goldenfish77  Год назад

      Thank you for your comment! In this model, I installed 4 EMAX ES9051 servos according to the description after minor modifications. I read in forums how to reduce the height of the servo if it does not fit in the nose part. I removed the plastic cover and wrapped the servo housing with insulating tape to prevent dust from entering. I wrote a self-made program for the startup mode and flight modes, many people do this differently. For me, the operating principle is that in the launch preset (launch mode) position, the flaps extend slightly downwards, the rudder slightly to the right (I throw the plane with my right hand), and the horizontal tail extends slightly upwards. As soon as I toss the glider, I almost immediately release the launch preset button (this is a rocker switch that I installed on the TX16S from the right side to the left side), then the "zoom mode" comes into effect approx. for 3 seconds, (all tails return to the plane, the flaps can be slightly higher than the center position. This lasts until the plane reaches the top point.
