Good Morning!!
This is an interesting thread concerning cost... This isn't an
unfamiliar thread..It happens every year right after the IHLG
competition..
The first thing I will say is that everyone,, I mean everyone!! Has the
opportunity to make their own DLG.. Or open class ship.. Just come up
all this talk of how expensive DLG's are, and no mention of the uber-cheap
Red Herring?!
Yeah, it's no performance ship, but for bang-for-your-buck, you can't beat
$30 for the cores from http://www.flyingfoam.com. It's 34 stock, but you
could get them to make the big-o Herring, just give them
be a good idea to hold contests where you can only use a javelin HLG
I see this a lot, and I've thought the same thing - really, at what point
does the discus launch put HLG into the same category as thermal duration??
if you can run 7 minute tasks from a throw, what makes that different than
So I'm guessing that you sent the FTC a complaint about that 20 cent a
gallon spike that we had on gas two weeks ago. Ah lets see that would have
been a holiday, Ah supply and demand, Ah oh yea this is AMERICA free market
and all that other stuff that makes this the greatest country in the
Wow! Guess you got me and my UpLink DLG pegged right. For this year's
IHLGF I drove about 1400 miles in my 1995 Geo Prizm while wearing last
years jeans cutoffs. I did save one of my almost new 2001 SASS 2 day
hlg tees to wear on Saturday. Didn't see any real fancy dress types or
super fancy
I love this hobby...aviation is my passion.
I believe you must determine for yourself whether you
are in DLG for the sport or the hobby.
I fly the Avenger 2 DLG from Jancomodels at

Personally, I'm all for creating 2 HLG classes, one for javelin, and one for
discus. Somehow, I doubt there would be much interest in it though, seeing
as how dlg is so much easier on your body... but hey, like I said, I'd fly
it!!

We here in Madison Wisconsin have been using mini high
starts for years for some of the tasks in our annual
HLG contests. At the Woodcrafters gathering a few
weeks back we had a quickly put together HLG contest
using mini high starts. It was a different format
using a strike out concept with MOM
It is one thing to be an advocate for a product that you are fond of and use regularly
but it is entirely another thing to be a shill for a manufacturer and not represent it
as such. You are getting paid for the website, correct? You are affiliated closely
with the developer of that plane,
i like that - i think i'd fly all 3 - DLG, JHLG, 1.5M TD
i do see the benefit of the DLG for folks with bad backs, etc - I just miss
the fly-fishing quality of the 'old' HLG class.

Oh, and by the way. I don't see there being a problem
with the cost of a DLG today. I think they are worth
every penny and maybe more. What I object to is the
opinion that you NEED to spend that kind of money to
have fun. Fun comes in many forms. For some it is
beating the latest, greatest,
Mark said what is basically a truism:
Fun comes in many forms... Pick your pleasures...
So, now that the discussion is ebbing let's have some stories of your most
FUN plane. How about it Less Grammer, Tom Nagel, et. al.?
There are *many* planes in our backgrounds. Many of us can't even remember
Although not finished yet, the Allegro Lite I am building has been the most
fun project. At first I was bewildered at how everything went together, but
I kept studying all the material and James Osborns web site and it all made
sense. Have the wingtips attached to the midpanels now, so it looks

DAW 1-26 HLG - My first aileron ship and my first foamie. The plane that
taught me more than all the others before or since. This was the first ship
that I would try almost anything with, you know the loops, inverted, rolls,
etc. cause it just kept on flying where as the previous ones were
