Flying the Kite DLG

This is the second part of the Kite RC glider build log. I go over some mistakes I made, and show the remainder of the build, completing the servo and gear installation, pushrod install, and tail pull-string install.

If you're looking for a beautiful DLG that handles like a lamb and flies well in all conditions... check out the Kite! Available from www.armsoarusa.com.

what's the difference between the Kite and the Fury?

[@bstearn1653]

Very informative. Appreciate the comparisons.

[@ArmSoar]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thomasparadeis9450]

great video!
Could you make a video about how to make turn / spiral properly with a dual view on your thumbs? thanks!

[@bramrc1246]

Wish I had one

[@MissurayLaslo]

Nice 🤘

[@bramrc1246]

Sick

[@scootermom1791]

I found this video when looking at types of kites. Is this remote controlled in some way? It sounded like it was by the things you said, but why would you be worried about it landing in the tree if that was the case? If it's not r/c, how do you get it to come back to you?

[@ArmSoar]

Yup! These are remote controlled. There is no motor/propulsion, so it is purely a glider. The radio controls servos which moves the control surfaces on the wings and tails to change direction, attitude, speed, and the amount of lift the wing produces.

What's the best altitude you can achieve for the conditions

[@ArmSoar]

For launches? So far my best is around 64 or 65m in calm air.

[@eisenschweinchen5354]

Wow!

[@bathtubs]

Kinda threw the Kite under the bus in this post. Sounds like you're selling the bamf 2

[@ahmadasabah]

What is the next step up from dream flight libelle ? Kite or mini dart2?

[@ArmSoar]

I have a lot of customers who have went directly from the Libelle to 1.5m successfully, so I’d say Kite would be a better choice between the two.

[@ahmadasabah]

@@ArmSoar thanks. Very nice detail of flying explained.

[@natosfinest]

Hi,
I own a Kite, may I ask what your settings are?
Beste regards

👍

[@yannickver]

it seems to fly very fast for a DLG... even during the thermalling...

[@ArmSoar]

The Kite slows down quite well

[@bramrc1246]

First
