25 dollar 1 meter dlg kit in china
(Please note that I am working in china so do not know if or how this may be available in US.)
I got this 160rmb dlg balsa kit in china on taobao.com with no instructions. Think I have figured out where all the parts go from looking at the picture. Just not sure how far the fiberglass boom goes inside the fuselage. i can figure out the cg. Will use copy shop laminate to cover I think. Can hardly go wrong for the price. Pretty complete kit, even a couple magnets for the hatch. Have started building the fuselage, going together nicely. |

the one you show is a motorized glider and it looks to be made of foam and probably a ready to fly or almost ready to fly. So definitely easier to get into the air than mine but vastly different purpose. I fly epp wings and love them because they are indestructible and great fun but I wanted to try dlg for change of pace. Yours looks fast, almost like a hotliner. I had one something like it once but couldnt get it land in my small landing area in the middle of our campus. |

my ignoranceQuote:
I have the dlg almost together now. It is a very ugly assembly job as it is my first balsa plane and I am not a detail person. But, I have covered the wing and fuse with laminating film and it is very stiff stuff. I use it on my epp wings which make them pretty crash proof. Just a few details left, drill some holes for wing screws and peg Find a good length for the boom, mount tail, add electronics and see what happens. Just weighed everything and itcomes out to 110grams without electronics. |

Mine glides beautifully with javelin throw but sidearm or dlg it rolls left. My vertical stab is too weak, need to rehinge it stronger. But I dont have time to mess with it right now as I am in robot building mode. Will come back to it sometime. |
