2024 Bump. Great stuff ... I am getting into DLG and the PUG looks like the way to start (I am an old sould aeromodeller ☺)

You make that look so easy. Not that i have ever tried it.👏👏👏

Thank you. Everything is very easy to understand.

Thanks for this informative video Nick. I've been hooking my fingers around the peg. I'll try what you advised next time 👍

I absolutely love my little Pug, Not so much for DLG but it flys so good on the slopes.

Also, thanks for the pug build series. I watched it a few times to help work out what to do with my build. It was really handy 👍

Wish me luck, just finished building a lightning bug. Waiting for a calm day to try my first discus launch. Never built or flown a model before. Thanks for the tips!

Cheers for the video. Looking to return to flying. Previous was all powered but really fancy DLG.

modeling a long time and got bit by the DLG bug! finally figured out fingure tip launch works best

Very informative Nick.
Pleased to say after watching this I was doing it right after making the mistake of crooking the fingers round the peg on the first few launches

Just about to enter the hobby with a Pug. Wanted to say thanks for this video. Very informative and I have a lot to learn!

Great tips, wish me luck I’ve just built a toro. Not quite finished yet though 👍

Thanks for the very informative video Nick.
The way to grip the launch peg was well explained.
I am a bit concerned that at 70 with a delicate back that discus launch might do me in!!!
I will stick to hi starts.
Cannot afford hospital fees in Australia.
Thanks mate.

Great video Nick, I enjoy all your build and How to videos. Before I destroy my pug I have a question about discus launch that often seem to be overlooked, How do you induce the “vertical climb”? Do you launch the plane upwards with a high angle of attack, do you add any trim or up elevator control or does it naturally hook upwards on release? (From a straight an level launch).

Hello Nick, why use a blade (which would seem to mess the aerodynamics) vs a peg/tube, as you have installed?
