Welcome to the DLG-Supplies.co.uk web site

This site is intended to pass on information and techniques for building and flying Radio Control Discus Launched Gliders (DLG). 

STOP PRESS :- Most stock has now Gone, Thanks to all who bought stuff. :-)

I've now added a page for News and What's New to track changes to the site and stop people having to trawl around looking for what's been updated.

The web site has the following Sections:    Click on any Thumbnail picture for a bigger version.

Catalogue: 
Pages listing loads of goodies to save you some hassle. 
This is driven by the fact that getting some of these items in the UK is very hard and when you do find them, the minimum order is large. Thus I've had to buy much more than I need and so can pass some on, hopefully saving other UK flyers the hassle of sourcing, etc.
(Sorry but it's payment up front and only in the UK at present )

Construction Techniques: 
Pages on how I make my DLG's and tips'n'tricks that I've gleaned from the web. 
Loads of this stuff is other peoples Ideas and I hope I have acknowledged techniques where possible (I can't always remember who said what on which e-mail forum, so if I've goofed I'm sorry) Tail, Wing, Boom and Fuselage Construction will all be covered. 
This section includes a range of write ups and tips from Phil Barnes (Who makes XP3's for a living) 

Information Pages
Information and Conversion Data (For Cloth Weights, Sheared Cloth, Wire Gauges) plus a list of Servo's, Rx's and Batteries for DLG's.
Rules and Achievement Scheme Links as well.
Weight Watchers
This area has detailed data and calculations about how much various DLG Parts weigh.
It will be updated as I progress through my various builds and with any data I can get from others (i.e. Spectre team)
Links to Other DLG Sites
My favorite sites are here as well as where to go to find lots more. 
Also listed are the e-mail forums I lurk around.
Suppliers
Where to find the Foam, Carbon, Epoxy, etc that you need.
Photographs. (Mimic Photo's are here)
A section dedicated to photo's of DLG's and their Pilots (pretty sparse at the moment).
