DG-1001M, ARF, BL, servos, blender

The DG-1001M is a scale replica of the popular high-performance glider company DG-Flugzeugbau in Bruchsal. Just like the original, the model has an innovative retractable engine that automatically turn on and extends. When retracted, the engine completely disappears in the fuselage. Two-fit valve on top of the fuselage close the engine bay.

 

The Hype DG-1001M is a further development of the DG-1000 and features many detail improvements. The entire mechanism of the retractable propeller has been revised. The support system for the swivel mechanism is now extremely rigid, an oscillation of the motor is prevented. Another innovation of the DG-1001M is the wing attachment. The joiner of the two wing panels is by friction over a carbon reinforced wing connector. The wings themselves have built carbon fiber spars for reinforcement. The snap-lock latch that can wing panels securely in place on the fuselage. Another new feature is the opening on the hull bottom. This can either be a ventilation grille or the supplied chassis can be mounted. The icing on the cake of the new DG-1001M is the optical facelift, which gives high performance glider its elegant appearance.

 

The drive of the DG-1001M is via a brushless motor that is powered by a 3s 11,1V LiPo battery. The control of the motor by a Skywalker 20A regulator, made by HOBBYWING. The controller is ready connected and programmed. A special mechanism ensures that the air screw is in the correct position before the engine is collapsed.

 

Fuselage, wings and tail are made from the newly developed material HypoDur® and have high strength with minimum weight. The wings and tailplane feature a carbon fiber spar for reinforcement. The DG-1001M is available either as an ARF or RTF version. The cost ARF version includes the model with five servos installed and pre-assembled drive train consisting of brushless motor and 20A Skywalker controller. The RTF version also includes the ready to fly mounted 2.4GHz radio control system, the LiPo battery and the 12V balancer charger. Due to the high degree of prefabrication, the model with just a few simple steps can be built ready to fly.

 

The control of the model of all three axes. The ailerons are made through a separate servo, which is located in the wing. All controls are designed as gapless elastoflaps they provide maximum aerodynamic efficiency.

 

In the air, the DG-1001M shines with good climbing performance and their superior lubricating properties. The model is already talking on lowest thermals and enthusiastic pilots and spectators with its unsurpassed flight performance.
