- What are pull-string or pull-spring setups on a DLG? Pull-string is a type of linkage for the rudder and elevator on your discus launch glider. It's light, has zero slop, very accurate, and easy to install.

Hello Thomas, I just finished building my BAMF2. It’s a big improvement over my 5 year old DLG. This comment is mostly to thank you for your effort to serve your customers, your professionalism and also for sharing your knowledge with us. A big thumb up as always.
PS: I love the neck-gaiter. Thank you.
Really happy to hear you're enjoying it! Have fun!!
I am addicted to your channel, great videos. Learning a lot.
Glad you like them and find them useful!
@@ArmSoar I just ordered the MD2 on your website. Very excited.
@@dbmooo we’ll have it shipped out tomorrow :)
@@ArmSoar Thank you very much!
I added a spring connected to the servo head, to pull it against the tail spring.
In neutral position, the sum of the springs forces is zero.
I believe it consume less power in average, and reduces the servo wear.
That works for sure!
Thanks, timed this nicely, Installing the Pulley Pull Sting now on my Fury as per Build instructions, Great Video, clear and excellent content.
Glad it helped! Looking forward to hearing about the Fury maiden!
Excellent video! You answered all of my questions. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm not into DLGs but when I'm scratching to keep weight to a minimum I use a pull-pull system with two runs of 0.1mm dyneema fishing line. Getting the tension just right can be a fiddle without adding the weight of a turnbuckle but can be done.
With pull-string, you’ll have better a better centring install without the pull-pull stress on hinges, which will also degrade the accuracy over time. DLGs are very sensitive to small trim changes and double-centring, hence pull-string becoming the standard.
I *love* pull-string tails!
Nice
An excellent and informative presentation….
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the information
You’re very welcome!
Awesome thanks
Thank you for the video. I am looking for information on how to install the pulley. How do you set it up and make sure that it is in the right position? I searched your vids and I don't see anywhere on how to actually install the pulley itself. I ordered a set from your store and I am getting ready to install the servo tray, just not quite sure how these guys should be set up. Thanks for any help or point me to a video with the information.
Nice video 🤘
Thank you!
Question, should we always store the glider with the surfaces relaxed? Will it deform the surfaces if stored central?
With the ultra-thin skin on the tail surfaces, I do think that is a real risk. I tend to ensure that the surfaces are relaxed for that reason alone.
If you're using carbon tails I think the issue isn't going to be significant, but I'd still relax it to be safer.
@@ArmSoar will the glass tail be safe too?
I have the glass minidart
Hi Thomas,
I am trying to set up my 1m Hawk DLG.
NX8 - spektrum receiver
I have set up my flight modes in Camber Preset.
Is this correct:
Cruise mode 0mm with 6mm up and travel of the aliron when I move the stick and 5mm down.
Thermal 1 - 2mm down this then reduces the up travel of the aliron to only 4mm and means the down throw become 7mm
Thermal 2 - 4 mm down this reduces up throw to 2mm and down becomes 9mm
Is this correct? The camber preset moves the aliron function down.
Should the aliron throw be 6mm up and 5mm down regardless of what flight mode I’m in?
Cruise 0mm
Thermal 1 - 2mm down
Thermal 2 - 4mm down
Which crimp tube do you recommend to secure the pull-string wire?
1mm fishing crimp.
Does this come as pnp instead of arf?
Can i put my OWN reciver in it? Do i need a new transmitter? I dont have any other than dsmx-compatible.
Thanks.
@AnonymousFlight9600 Yup! We have PNP (we call it receiver-ready/RR in our store) options :) You can add your own receiver to it. Send us an email: info@armsoar.com!
FYI, the Beadalon is MUCH cheaper at Michael's. It should not cost more than $10 per roll.
