Re: [RCSE] SideWinder DLG

2001-04-15 Thread Dave Seay

It was a classification of US Navy ships (Destroyer Leader, Guided missile)
that were renames to CG (Cruiser, Guided missile) as part of paperwork drill
to comply with a force reduction treaty with the USSR  (i.e.  USS Biddle,
DLG-34 became the CG-34).

Oh yeah...  it also means 'Discus Launched Glider' and its the latest rage
in the world of hand launching.  I'm still trying to choose which one I
want.

  The new sailplane after a bit more testing by Mike will most likely go

[RCSE] DLG Opinions

2001-04-15 Thread Dave Seay

With more and more HLG's being re-released as DLG's, the process of choosing
one gets more difficult all the time.  I am currently flying a Xterm and it
is a gem!  The problem is that my back is giving me a lot of problems again
and I expect such episodes to more frequent as time goes on.  I want to get
a DLG (and will probably sell my Xterm) but am not sure which.

The 'reasonable' field is currently...

Sidewinder, $249, 2 ch
Raptor, $325, 2ch
Focus, $300, 4 ch
Logic, $330, 4 ch
Psykologic, $349, 4ch
Texas Twister, $275, 4ch

and changes each day!

So, the prices are about the same so how do you choose?  Do you go by wing
loading?  Is 4 ch superior to 2 in HL?

Opinions and recommendations on how to choose?

Okay, two comments... (one is a question):

(1) What modifications are required to make one a 'DLG'?

(2) xterm is a type of 'X11 Windows Terminal' people on
 UNIX systems use every day.   If you are a UNIX
 user, it is very odd to you to see an HLG glider named that.

or after a spectacular launch find myself having to run

Re: [RCSE] DLG Opinions

2001-04-15 Thread David A. Enete

It seems like there is a severe "two camps" division in DLG launch 
technique.  "Dick Barker"-style has the release at max speed with the 
inside (grasping) wing almost stationary.  The other camp is the 
"Equal Speed"-style where the throwing hand moves forward quickly 
during release in the direction of flight (no rudder pre-set needed). 
I think Dick's method generates greater velocity (on the outside 
panel at least), but is really a no-win trade off.

(NOTE: I don't fly DLG, but am shopping for a design so I can start. 
These comments are based on observation only.  IHLGF video 
rewind-pause-slo-mo, Twister video rewind -pause-slo-mo, Endless Lift 
rewind -pause-slo-mo, etc.)

Barker-esque analysis:  The difference between the slower "inside" 
wing and the outside wing has to be equaled out in order to continue 
the launch without a snap-roll.  The rudder preset causes drag.  The 
positive side is that the pilot's spinning is constant through the 
launch and the launching hand is brought from behind the body, 
alongside the body, and then across the front to release (pretty easy 
to develop a good style).

Equal-speed analysis:  There is no pre-set drag except for elevator 
to tweak the release attitude.  There is much less stress on the 
fuselage (in the boom area at least).  The speed of launch at release 
is the only compromise.  The launching hand comes from behind to 
along side the pilot's body.  At that point, the body stops rotation 
(inasmuch as it contributes to a better launch speed) and the launch 
hand continues on its path in the direction of launch to release. 
Still, the advantage is the swinging weight and inertia gained during 
the spin (and less airframe stress).  The Wurts-Javelin does this 
with the pre-launch run.  Isolate the arm from the body (encase 
yourself in cement except for your throwing arm) and both styles have 
similar launch potential.

When you use the Barker-esque launch, don't you give up a good amount 
of speed (energy) in straightening the flight path out...and is that 
equal to the Equal-speed launch energy?

Anyway:
   Why should the tail extend below the boom? 
   Would that make it look like a + (plus) tail?  
   Doesn't that dork out landings?
   Couldn't you just make the rudder twice as tall?


Theory is that the twisting load on the boom during launch is too 
great.  When countered by the rudder, having it centered on the boom 
makes it less twisty.

Not a "+" tail, Dick Barker makes his a T-tail.

Landings aren't too bad, and most are hand-catches in competition anyhow.

Twice as tall rudders make the twisty situation worse.

[RCSE] DLG learning curve

2001-04-15 Thread Rick Brown and Jill Wiest

Don't know the plane. Couldn't recognize the pilot in a line up. And the
tale of the battery and the fuse is just that.

The point is that saying a plane broke in use is not good info. If you
find out that over time many of a particular design has had structural
failures that means something. An isolated event means nothing.

Many good planes are going to be broken by bad throwing technique in the
coming year. GOOD planes, BAD technique. That's all.

Maybe you should ask the 'father of DLG' how many planes he has broken
learning to throw discus style.

  Are there any DLG designs to be avoided or that are

 Any with know structural defects or problems?

Let this be a lesson. This was a private note to Rick.
I believe Paul had the same comment.

This question was really for posting to the list since I am not the one
wanting answers and opinions to this question.

Anyone else caring to reply, please do so to the list.

I think Craig has a valid point.

Thanks





Rick,

It's really to early to tell. I've busted a 
couple recently but am throwing pretty hard and the designs are still being 
perfected. Unfortunately with stuff this new some customers are going to be part 
of the research team and may break the odd airplane before the gliders are 
optimised.

Craig.
