RC sailplanes strive for efficiency, especially competition models like discus launch gliders. Efficiency comes in many forms; it can be in launch height, how well the glider floats and penetrates, or even the setup of the linkages. Offsetting flaperons on a DLG uses all of the servo's deflection to maximize the control surface throw, torque, and accuracy.
Pilots often apply gap seal to their RC gliders. What are they used for, and how do you make them?
Having the right tools to assemble your new RC gliders makes everything go much smoother. What are the essentials and nice to haves?
Ballast helps your DLG increase speed and stability, perfect for turbulent and windy conditions. Here's how to make your own DLG ballast set.
Modern discus launch gliders are using pull-string for tail control. Why, and how does it work?
Epoxy was the go-to standard for carbon sailplane assembly for many years. But building with CA superglue has been gaining immense popularity. What are the advantages, and how does it perform?
