Every single human being has a level deep inside their mind that will bring total calmness. Meditation gives you that space between you and your body, between you and your mind. Flying RC Gliders has been proven to bring forth tangible benefits, in particular a more restful and focused mind. I have found myself able to concentrate deeply on the task at hand, to better adjust the volume on distracting background noise of ever growing stressful lifestyle we all encounter day by day.
If you are new to this wonderful RC hobby, here you can find some helpful information on building a hand launch glider or DLG. Find out what the best DLG glider is for beginners.
With RC gliders, the fun factor starts with the knowledge to utilize environmental forces of mother nature such as wind, thermals, trees, altitude, the heat and the cold. Being mindful of your surrounding, taking in a deep breath of fresh air and dancing with nature. The art of gliding might take years of practice for some to fine tune, but the experience and journey is quite meditative and breathtaking.
RC Thermal Soaring – Thermal lift is when warm air rises from the earths surface due to the suns warmth. Similar to hot air balloons as hot air is less dense than cool air, the heated air causes the balloon to rise. Buoyancy is an upward force that the air exerts helping in the lift factor. As long as warm air is constant, your rc glider will be able to sustain continuous lift.
RC Slope Soaring – Slope Soaring or Ridge Lift is when wind hits the face of a cliff side or the side of a hilltop. When wind hits a slope surface, the direction of the wind is forced upward generating lift.

this feather glider is a gem
This feather dlg is by far the best glider plane yet considering it has no ailerons. Most glider planes have both ailerons and rudder , but this ultralight dlg needs no ailerons, she says afloat days on end. this feather is incredibly light weight and super easy to control, even easier to build, what a gem.

Many thanks
i am very happy with my purchase, Mr. Lee has been of great help getting my feather in the sky, a hiccup on my end from gluing the guide rods to the push rods, but finally she flies and very gracefully. many thanks from Main

Another fantastic product form microbirds. They really stepped it up with their micro line of RC. This is a great little back yard flyer indeed, Great customer support and spares availability ( I crash a lot). If this is the future of the company, they are going in the right direction with their unique air ships.
After the initial setup it’s flight is easy and responsive. It flew very stable in a light wind but prefers no wind at all and remember to use as little travel adjust on rudder especially because the controls are very sensitive and you need very little joystick movement to make the owl turn. in fact too much travel and your owl will be out of control, just a side note.

fun
i am almost 80 years of age with a life time of radio control experience. I am very pleased with your beautiful design of the feather glider. Although i can not launch this glider very high due to my lower back lumbar pain, but i am having extensive and long flights over at the embankment right next to our home here in Tennessee.
