33.7k TheGliderGuy  7 months ago

it's here

When I was studying for my final exams I started to become a little less interested in simpleplanes because school is of course a little more important. but that's why I was away for a long time. but that's not important now.

anyway I am back with a new glider This time i made the Duo Discus .

Specifications (in Dutch)

pretty good looking cockpit
"front and back"


Flying


Tail

Ag1 Cockpit
Ag2 start winch-start
ag3 disconnect from the winch

Anyway hope you like the glider and have a good day !

    I might get some controversy..
    But....
    Almost all gliders look the same just they have winglets or don't have winglets
