Test Flight of the DL50 Glider



The Test flight of my new DL50 glider was pure heaven, from the initial over head javelin style launch the glider tracked straight and true and no elevator trim had to be made. I added 2 degrees of up elevator and put this on a switch on my tranny for launch mode.
Next it was a soft discus launch and as I had though the DL50 climbed out tracking straight at around 45 degrees and to a height of 20M. I did the testing on the beach in the late evening and winds were very light around 2-5mph. I was more than pleased !
I will show you a few build pictures, but its back to work for now.
