flyflyhobby DG808S 4 METRE SCALE GLIDER
Well its been ordered and eta is 5-10 days time from this posting,shes a big ship-the biggest of the fleet,and it will keep me busy fitting out with radio-i shall post photos of this latest edition, not to far away
This model flies well,and l use a y-lead coupled with ailerons and rudder to make it turn better.Light as a feather-750 grams total with lipol 1300 mah 11.1 volt battery,used for thermal mainly but have used it on the slope and its a real joy-just add extra ballast-handles 15-20 knots no problem.Looks good in the air,after all it is made entirely of foam,so doesnt look as good as the flyflyhobby Dg 1000-2.6 metre on the ground.Wingspan is 2 metres.Have flown this model many times,and have had no problems with it.
