Crack was found in the tail pipe.
Quality management is the lowest.
And , wing tip has deformed.
Prowess of my repair from pre-flight would go up :)

DLG is tail heavy even with all gear jammed as far forward as possible. If the wing was mounted further back it would fix this. I needed to add a fair amount of nose weight.

After about 15 launches the fuselage tore on the launch side due to the stress of launching discus style. See video below (dOpIQaMRpdw on youtube).

My first request to HK was met with the "we don't take responsibility for crashes" when it's clear it has not been crashed. I responded by explaining in detail what was going on, so we will see what they say. As for now I can't reccomend this to anyone. If you do get this glider, be sure to reinforce the fuselage about 1 inch forward of the rear. Unfortunately this will not help the CG any.

Great little glider. I used 3g servos, frsky 3 channels receiver and 260 mAh Lippo 1s battery. With this setup you need to add 10 to 15g of lead in the nose (it would be hard to fit a bigger battery anyway)
Definitely don't go for the recommended servos by HK as they won't fit in the tray.
No need for voltage booster with the 1s battery and frsky receiver. I flew it for 2hours using about 100 mAh from the battery.
Assembling the plane is quite easy and takes 2 to 4h depending on skills. The servo linkage is a bit heavy and could be lighter with use of carbon fiber. That would also help to get the CG right without using lead.

Build quality is good for the price but this is not a plane for beginers as it is very lightweight and can be damaged easily on landings (better catch it by hand). Fly time is around 30s to 1min. It is very easy to catch thermals even during this winter weather!

Great mini Dlg glider. floats around beautifully & is very addictive, I haven't flown my powered planes much at all since buying this.
I bought the arf version & fitted 2 x Blue Arrow 3.9g High Speed Micro Servos PRODUCT ID: BA-S03615.
plus a Turnigy nano-tech 300mah 1S 35~70C Lipo battery PRODUCT ID: 9210000001 receiver is a V8fr11 Frsky without the case, covered in heat shrink. I used lead in the tip of the nose for CG.
I ran the lot on 1s with no voltage booster & have had no problems at all.
Highly recommended..
