2024 Bump. Great stuff ... I am getting into DLG and the PUG looks like the way to start (I am an old sould aeromodeller ☺)
Thanks mate just build up slowly and wear trainers not heavy shoes
Thanks Nick.
Hope it helps 👌
You make that look so easy. Not that i have ever tried it.👏👏👏
Thanks years of practice and some expensive mistakes 😂
Excellent video Nick! Thank you for the HLG tips.
Cheers buddy
modeling a long time and got bit by the DLG bug! finally figured out fingure tip launch works best
Dlg is addictive
I absolutely love my little Pug, Not so much for DLG but it flys so good on the slopes.
It’s my got to light wind plane. DLG, histart,slope. I hear talk of something exciting soon from them
Wish me luck, just finished building a lightning bug. Waiting for a calm day to try my first discus launch. Never built or flown a model before. Thanks for the tips!
Best of luck with the flying , just remember crashing is part of the hobby too, I am getting rather good at that part myself 😁
Just take your time make. Dlg can get addictive
Very informative Nick.
Pleased to say after watching this I was doing it right after making the mistake of crooking the fingers round the peg on the first few launches
Thanks Pete traveled the world competing staying up gets addictive 😂
Thank you. Everything is very easy to understand.
Thanks
Also, thanks for the pug build series. I watched it a few times to help work out what to do with my build. It was really handy 👍
Cheers Paul
I'm re-watching the pug build as my 2nd one is on the bench finally.
@@petegow3901 I need to get a twisty 😂
@@NickChittyFlying i need a more local slope for a twisty to be able to enjoy it.
@@petegow3901 yer blessed to live here
Thanks for this informative video Nick. I've been hooking my fingers around the peg. I'll try what you advised next time 👍
Just build up power slowly
Cheers for the video. Looking to return to flying. Previous was all powered but really fancy DLG.
It’s a good intro glider
Thanks for the very informative video Nick.
The way to grip the launch peg was well explained.
I am a bit concerned that at 70 with a delicate back that discus launch might do me in!!!
I will stick to hi starts.
Cannot afford hospital fees in Australia.
Thanks mate.

Good idea Pete don’t want to to the blame for that. My knees prefer bungee. Hope to get to Queensland soon to see my boy 👦

Hi Nick.
Its getting hot and sticky out here now.
I hope you have a lovely time visiting your boy.
I am in Queensland the sunsnine state!
I have yet to find a decent slope as I love slope soaring.

Great tips, wish me luck I’ve just built a toro. Not quite finished yet though 👍
Good luck 🤞
Just about to enter the hobby with a Pug. Wanted to say thanks for this video. Very informative and I have a lot to learn!
Thank you
Great video Nick, I enjoy all your build and How to videos. Before I destroy my pug I have a question about discus launch that often seem to be overlooked, How do you induce the “vertical climb”? Do you launch the plane upwards with a high angle of attack, do you add any trim or up elevator control or does it naturally hook upwards on release? (From a straight an level launch).
It goes up on its own mate on full comp wings people will have an elevator preset but release on launch. this little glider doesnt require that :)
ruclips.net/video/ToK0hrUpxxE/видео.html watch this one mate.
the hooking is people have there finger wrapped round peg.
just take your time mate and build up slowly
@@NickChittyFlying cheers mate i’d forgotten about that one, thanks for the reminder!
Hello Nick, why use a blade (which would seem to mess the aerodynamics) vs a peg/tube, as you have installed?
Full size dlg use a blade the pug comes with tube 👌
@@NickChittyFlying Fair enough. Very interesting videos, you’ve made. Many thanks.
@@user-qw4ry6hc1k I will do a full size dlg next summer triple the hieght :)
