Handlaunch gliders are extremely popular and flying these high-tech light weight gliders will quickly build your soaring and thermaling skills. A few years ago the tip launch or discus style launching method revolutionized the entire HLG experience allowing anyone to launch really high with minimal effort.

I want every R/C soaring pilot to learn how to launch and fly these amazing planes and I produced the Handlaunch Pro Clinic to make the learning process easy and fast. 

While tip launching is not very hard to learn, you will need some help initially and you must learn some basic techniques otherwise you WILL destroy that nice new glider you just spent some big bucks on. 

The Handlaunch Pro Clinic is a 4 hour intensive training DVD which will show you step-by-step how to prepare, equip, and launch your first HLG. The detailed tutorials will guarantee a successful first flight and eliminate costly mistakes that beginner's all make.

On Disk 1 I cover basic tuning, radio set ups, equipment, and optimizing. This detailed tutorial will help you get any HLG model ready for the stresses that the discus launch puts on your plane. If you don't apply these basic set up techniques, you are asking for trouble once you start launching.

I take you out to the field on Disk 2 for an extensive clinic on launching, showing you the right and wrong way to practice your spin technique. You will quickly teach yourself how to launch high without destroying your plane. I also reveal a few tips about launch presets, center of gravity settings, and a review of common mistakes.

You will also see me catching thermals and I describe everything I am doing while I fly. You will watch this part over and over! I recommend HLG flying to anyone in soaring, no matter what skill level. The planes are cheap, durable, transportable, and you can fly them almost anywhere.

Things You Will Learn More About:

• Launching basics • Set ups and basic tuning • Choosing right equipment • Intro to thermaling • Radio tips • Tips the pros use

As a bonus, I have included interviews with some of America's top HLG pilots who talk about the latest models and equipment they use. You will also see the highest launching pilots on the contest circuit throw in super slow motion which reveals each pilots unique throwing technique. 

If you are just getting started in HLG or want to learn more about HLG flying in general, this DVD is a must-have. It will save you months of trial and error learning and will surely save you many broken planes and parts. Make sure you watch the online trailer as it will give you a tiny but enticing taste of the DVD’s content.

If you purchase this DVD and don't improve your HLG skills, just return it in 30 days, and I will refund your purchase price.

    There's sooo much info in this I can't stand it. I'm going to go far with this DVD.. you have done an outstanding job and it's well worth the 'extra' wait... I enjoyed watching you fly almost more than anything else on the video because it showed me the 'brain' of a pro pilot and will 'launch' me into the next level of flying I believe. Thank you for your tremendous effort. I hope many pilots HLG AND non HLG buy this to understand the finess involved in flying with the 'light touch.' Can't wait to see what's next." - Chris Ballmer


  3. Awesome!

    Posted by Tom on 26th Aug 2009

    This is a great DVD set with great photography as expected from Radio Carbon Art. The first DVD is a must have for any builder, especially new HLG (not just DLG) builders. Paul covers everything from selecting receivers, servos and installation as well as building tips and radio setup. There are clear diagrams and descriptions describing exactly how the control surfaces affect the flight. I definitely recommend the section on flight tuning, which covers CG placement and tips on preparing plane ready before fine tuning at the field. The second DVD takes it one step further with great footage of DLG techniques at the field. Paul is kind enough to share his early mistakes in beginning DLG. Overall its great reference material." - Tom Moore


  4. Great!

    Posted by Luis on 25th Aug 2009

    Great video. All the care and quality that Paul put in his work is there. For pilots that are far from the DLG crowd like me it is a really great way to see and hear about DLG. 2 DVDs, over 3 hours of material :-) Thanks again Paul for this very fine video. - Luis Cimon


  5. Excellent

    Posted by Kyle on 25th Aug 2009

    I received my copy about 2 weeks back and can not get enough of it! There is a huge amount of information for the DLG enthusiast in this DVD. I would strongly recommend you purchase a copy for your self as soon as possible. I am presently viewing this a 6th time now. I just love the Field Sessions and how they were filmed. The variety of climatic conditions was typical of what we receive around here in Oregon. As you watch Paul fly his Pole Cat Aeroworks DLG around the sky you begin to understand why he has paid close attention to the nuances of camber control and mixing of control surfaces on his plane. He is a good teacher also. The scene with the hawk really did it for me. Paul has never been so thorough in his approach. The Shop Sessions are very good. He talks about how to assemble, set up and balance your DLG right out of the box as well as how to prevent mistakes in the building process. The interviews with some of the best DLG pilots was fun and informative to watch, including the one with Dr. Mark Drela where he talked about DLG design philosophies. I thought the slow motion launch sequences were so neat because now I can see where I have been going wrong with my launch. I personally feel this is good enough to be considered the best video of its kind ever! If you want to purchase that radio also purchase this video and you cant possibly go wrong." - Kyle Kroker
