Pillips entry?
Time...

Nice Nice sir... coming along well.

Quoteand adjustable incidence.

Maine bola tha..chup chup baithe ho, zarur koi baat hai...

variable incidence, ? great concept, i have only seen and flown variable sweep

Iyer sir, are you planning the variable incidence to be controlled via a servo? Looks promising for DLGs, given one needs to make continuous adjustments to drag/lift

No.
But thanks for a GREAT idea.
No pushrod. Servo in nose. Wow. Possibilities.
Awaiting 3.7gm servos from xtreme.
Need a 3-6a ESC too. My smallest is 10a.

But wait. Read my design epistle tomorrow.
Need to lay hands on a 1/4x4x36 sheet of 6lb balsa. Current one was 6.4.
Have one 1/4" CF boom, very fine glass cloth, finishing resin...
Only if the design flies. Am sure she will do a qualifying flight, but will she do 1min+?
Perhaps model no.3
Model no.2 already taking shape. (In my head, that is )

Edit:
Meanwhile have to request Anwar sir to move this thread to the Free Flight board...

Don't jump the gun, guys.
Presently the incidence adjuster is only a humble screwdriver!

Gusty sir,
Don't be modest. You have flown variable incidence.
Only it was called (i know you'll break my head) 'elevator trim'   

Great men think alike and fools seldom differ - with your permission Sir, I may have a little surprise stashed away somewhere, soon ..........

Beautiful build Sir, DLG I presume. Following this build with eagle eyes, I promise.

Er
'Great men think alike and fools seldom differ'


Spring it, spring it, can't wait.
Sanjay sir going hammer and tongs, building nineteen to the dozen!

I'll give you a clue - I was wondering what to do with these...............

And then I downloaded two plans for the Pelicatoo and the Kuntoel 28.........

And then to hone my hibernated Balsa skills, I made 2 Chuck Gliders and am now building the third - increasing the size of each glider as I go along.

Sanjay Sir/ Rai Saheb has got it backwards by now - 21 to a dozen.

And experiment on gullible school kids, haha

Gullible? Schoolkids?? In 2014??? I didn't know that you were Rip Van Winkle in disguise!    You gotta be joking!

Model looking beautiful sir,
polyhedral wings look awesome.

Catching up? Overtaken

yes i have, but not elevator trim, all flying tailplane like the MiG 21, i dont know how many are aware that MiG 21 didnt have elevator at all, it had all flying (Variable incidence) tailplane, when you moved the stick back the entire tailplane moved and ofcourse when you trimmed it, it moved and didn't stay there (Moved again based on autopilot laws, height an speed)

You are somewhat right about it sir, all flying tail it is

Tomorrow is Sunday
Test flight day
Hopefully

Edit:
Why is the pic upside down?
Tried four times.
No matter which pic i delete, the ulta one remains 

That shows the inverted flying capabilities of your model.....

Sirji...... from where you got the carbon fiber tubes??

DLG is catching up on RC India ... I am also having plans for same...... + VC as well... you completed it first.

TEST FLIGHT SUCCESSFUL!
Around 6 pm, 23rd Mar 2014.
First TLG in Indore.
First in India?

Edit:
Will not load even a 10 sec video of the test glide.
Will upload to youtube tomorrow and post link.

Test glide video

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY7do8ID3-8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Test launch 1. Darte darte!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPAYcJtJ75k&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Test launch 2. Not enough right rudder.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYAzCusGtOw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Test launch 3. Needs a bit more nose weight and a bit more rudder. And stronger launch!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnntwCPu-gk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

How its launched
catapult or just hand throw?

Named it INDORE TLG1.
TLG stands for Tip Launch Glider.
Held by the wingtip. With thumb either above or below.
Just swing and release.

Note ease of transition from end of launch to beginning of glide.
