Lull Balsa 1.2m DLG

Description

The Lull is balsa 1.2-meter DLG kit that offers a way more stabilty and flight performance compared to 600mm and 1000mm models, preserving the manueverability with 2-channel controls.

This is a completerly new model that was designed from scratch, based on the hits and misses from the Shaka and Maverick.

It features a built-up balsa dihedral main wing with a round carbon fiber spar, leading and trailing edges.

The assembly guide is available online, here.

For more building tips please, check a this RCGroups thread.

In order to maximise the launch performance, the wing have no contol surfaces and it proves to be a right choice. This way the wing has no weak areas which may cause fluttering during the initial launch phase.

As a result the wmain wing is stiff and solid and will suite both right and left hand launchers.

The tails here uses 3D-printed standoffs for the tailplane and a specifically designed optional “boom sleeve” for the fin that makes both parts removable for transportation or storage.

Please, note that you will get the solid-printed tailplane standof included with the kit.

The fin mount makes the assembly more complicated and adds weight to the tail which increases the AUW of the complete glider.

Due to this fact, the fin mount is optional, and will not be included with the kit but can be printed separately as needed.

The AUW comes out at a 160-180g point which will make it a great beginner RC glider.

In addition, the fuse is designed to use any servos up to 9g, say HXT900, in case you wish to build on a budget.

However, we recommend choosing some smaller and more presise options for better control and more room for Rx and Battery in the pod.

For example, Hitec HS-40 is a great option.

Lull 1.2m DLG Kit Contains:

• Laser-cut balsa and plywood sheets
• Carbon fiber tubes and rods required for assembly
• Printed assembly plan, mainly needed for building a main wing
• Accessories bag, that includes wing and tailplane mounting bolts, 3D-printed tail mount, music wire for torsions, CNC control horns, plastic sleave for pull cable guidence, etc.

Also, feel free to add some extras to your order for esceptional building experience.

Check out the Lull DLG wing stickers, tail mounting bolts, and electric props as a bare minimum 🙂
