Discus
Launch for
Everyone!
There are few experiences in model aviation more satisfying to the soul than flying an efficient, slow-moving
glider
that has been launched to soaring altitude by hand. The Libelle takes RC hand-launch glider flying to the
next
level, building off of the global acceptance of the Alula. Until now, this type of experience had been out oi
reach for many pilots for a variety of reasons. The Libelle is for everyone; it can be assembied, balanced, and
trimmed
for
flight
by pilots of any experience level. |
Modern RC Glider Design *
ARG - The Libelle is our
first
ARG design (Almost
Ready
to Glide). You'll gef ouf and
glide
faster, as many
time-
saving tasks
have
been expertly finished at our factory. Utilizing the most modern materials and foam molding
techniques,
we
have
achieved a durable, lightweight, and super smooth airframe that is a huge improvement
from
the past. The entire model is comprised of proprietary components purpose-designed for the Libelle. For
ease
of assembly, all essential
areas
of the model are self-aligning and
interlocking.
Launch! Launching the Libelle could not be easier or more accessible. Utilizing clever design by combining
injection
molded wingtip launch plates and carbon fiber wing spars, the Libelle can be launched "discus style" by
both
right
and
left
handed
pilots.
Just
slip the included launching peg
into
whichever wingtip suits your needs.
Designers Notes - The Libelle's 1.2 meter wingspan is user-friendly and
easy
to transport (designed to fit across
most
automobile rear cargo
Spaces).
When
compared to the conventional 1.5 meter
DLGs,
the Libelle's compact
wing
gives a
little
more ground clearance for those pilots just developing their discus launch technique. The Libelle
packs in a lot of wing area by
utilizing
a lower aspect ratio wing tuned for slow,
turning
flight-
perfect
for
tbermalling
af low altitude
like
a bird! We started from the ground up, fusing in-house
airfoil
and wing design to
provide
the Libelle with a wide speed
ränge,
great launch Performance, and efficient
flight
behavior. Generous
control
surfaces provide a nimble control feel that
will
satisfy
even
the most experienced
pilots.
•Libelle"-
Why the
Name?
r
Here
in the Goleta Valley, we are fortunate to share the air
witli
a very wide variety of flying creatures. One of our favorites, the
Green
Darner dragonfly, began to appear quite often both
physically
and symbolically during the development of the
Libelle.
Watching these dragonflies catch
even
the slightest bit of
air
current or
lift
while not moving their wings was greatly
inspiring.
The nimble
flight
characteristics and beautifui shapes
resonated deeply with our mindset. It could not
have
evolved
more organically... Libelle- the word for dragonfly in German.
"Libelle" - German for
Dragonfly
