I like your videos. They move along nicely. Some people try to explain to every little detail. Nicely done!

I just took delivery of my Versus kit and have been searching for build info. This a timely post for me and very useful video. Thank you for taking the time to do this excellent build video.

The more I watched plane buildings, the more i think it is a hefty task and overwhelming.

Thanks for the great build video Andrew. I now understand the spring technique for the elevator and rudder.

Excellent build video. Thanks for taking the time to share some tips.

great! I'll be watching the video again when I have to build my first DLG

One of the best builds I have watched. I will be going step by step with you on my 2nd Versus kit. my first was heavy, but flew great in the wind. LOL

Quite a good lesson, thanks! I might not build this kit but still some great building techniques.

Tanks! The instructions of my dlg glider are a disaster so I read the istructions of this glider. This video is useful because adds information to the manual. Greetings, Ale

Nice build vid. Very thorough. I spent ages putting my Longshot together trying to get everything perfect. 😁

Thank you Andrew :-) Your video is a fantastic build log for the Versus. Ever since I discovered this great DLG, which performs well beyond expectations, I have wanted to see such a video. This video, your build log and the RCGROUPS thread makes the Versus one of the most documented DLDs available. I have found no better DLG to start with and your video helps anyone produce a very successful model for this thrilling mode of RC flying. One builder even out flew some competition flyers with it. A fantastic job you have done :-) Mal :-)

good video built many dlgs best thing to do with the versus is to get the blaster 2 elevator mount and replace the balsa block and have a the full area of the elevator working for you ,makes a big difference to this dlg , the last versus which i built for someone took me around 2hrs once you have built one dlg they are all more or less the same i do like the blaster 3 really nice clean build on them ,but for launching the topsky 3 takes it i can get it to around 190ft where as the blaster only to around 160

Thank you so much for this video!!! Finally a video with all the little details that will help builders of ANY dlg !!! You answered so many questions I had that would've been hard learned mistakes after the fact. I liked and subscribed!!

you could have very well pushed the aileron servo plugs thru the hole you drilled

Thanks nicely edited video. I just purchased one of these myself. I'm unsure I'll build mine in exactly the same way but I picked up some good tips there.
