	Our new STRIKE DLG will easily fulfil your dreams about a handy model you could fly virtually anywhere. About a model you could pack for your trips that would work with even the most basic four-channel radio - quite just like our CUMUL DLG. Compared to the CUMUL, the STRIKE is larger and features aileron control. Yet with little effort, it will still fit the 250g limit. And do not forget - this RC hand launch glider will get you in shape in no time - the thoroughly performed discus launch is quite a sporty feat as well!

	An RC hand-launch glider kit is a great thing for anybody who wants to build their models by themselves the old-fashioned way with balsa, plywood, sticks and a few carbon composites. The building is easy and goes forward quite nicely. STRIKE DLG may not be an ideal very first model for a newcomer without any previous experience, but if you have built at least “something of balsa and sticks”, you should not have any problems. There should be no problems mastering the discus launch once your STRIKE DLG is ready to fly as well - we included a thorough illustrated appendix showing how it is done in the instruction manual.
