A while ago i got into doing a little gliding. I had a small hand launch glider and had some good times with it mainly on the slope but also a little on the flat. After flying it a bit I became fascinated with discus launch gliders that people were talking about. They were beautifully made and had incredible performance. After looking around I found a "Blaster" available for sale locally and bought it. I did my research and found the recommended set up to get it all to work correctly. The build is a lot of set up to get everything to work with the radio and learning to do it was fun. I flew it a little but couldn't push myself to fly something so nice on the slope that I had all the fun on! I learnt to launch it and flew it a little but with not a lot of luck.
Times change!
Its been sitting all this summer and a lot of last year in the custom box I made when I first built it. I made the box because I knew I had to store the plane and didn't want it to be damaged. I used TS-6011 digital servos in the fuse and TS-1002 in the wings. These servos are the same as the Dymond 4.7 and 9's that are recommended. For an RX it currently has a hitec electron6 but that can be swapped out easily. power is via 2s cr123a batteries. The plane has a carbon boom with a Kevlar pod reinforced with carbon. The tail is built up balsa and carbon and features a full flying stab. The wing is molded glassed balsa(quite beautifully done) with a carbon spar and reinforcements.
There is very little damage. No crashes but it does have some use. little bumps here and there I would call it an 8/10 for a used plane.
Here is the deal!! I found that I just dont have the space to fly this plane where I thought I would. Make an offer or I'm going to cut the nose off and make it a powered glider!
This is NOT a threat! I will do it!

So how much? Looking for any trade items?

I'm definitely interested. I was considering a discus launch last year. PM me if you have a price in mind.

Well, no hear... Very interested in getting into DLG. Thank you.
