Discus Launched Gliders (DLGs) are a fairly new breed of rc glider, designed with a particular launch method in mind.
One
wingtip is held by the pilot, who then spins around 360 degrees before
flinging the glider upwards - in the same way a discus is thrown in the
athletic field event. The centrifugal force produced by the
pre-launch spin is enough to launch the glider to a surprising height,
and the design characteristics of DLGs are such that the aircraft
naturally goes into a steep climb immediately after launch. The good thing with this form of glider launching is that you don't
have to be strong, because the power comes from the technique.
DLGs are perfect for thermal soaring on a flat field.
