My launches are much better now, I figured out that I wasn’t letting my arm lag behind me as I spun around, which meant that I couldn’t add the snap of bringing my arm forward at the end of the spin.

I now attach the battery to the pod by wrapping parcel tape over the battery and around the entire outside of the pod (making it follow the foam contour around the top edge so that the lid can still fit securely). It holds it so much more securely than hot glue or CA ever did.

I spent quite some time with the libelle last summer. I had no prior experience with gliders and dlg’s. The first couple of launches were really bad but i after some weekends i figured out a technique which i found was pretty OK. All in all lots of fun 🙂
I also lost the carbon launch pegs more than once and my first major crash was because the battery flew off due to the weak canopy magnets.
I also liked the whole programming aspect with my taranis and to see what you can achieve with opentx.
This year I’m all into multirotors 😉
Regards, Alex
