Dancing Wings 1.2m DLG Windrunner Balsa RC Plane Kit (Servos,Film Included)

The Dancing Wings Windrunner 1.2m DLG Glider is an outstanding choice for pilots who want to experience the challenge and satisfaction of discus launch soaring using a traditional, lightweight, and high-performance balsa aircraft.

It offers refined aerodynamics, excellent thermal performance, and the joy of a true build — making it a perfect stepping stone into the world of DLG or a relaxing pure-soaring addition to any RC hangar.

The Dancing Wings Windrunner 1.2m DLG is a purpose-designed discus launch glider for pilots who enjoy pure, unpowered soaring, thermal hunting, and ultra-lightweight performance flying.

With its 1.2 metre wingspan, lightweight laser-cut balsa construction, and optimised airfoil design, the Windrunner is built to convert launch energy into altitude efficiently, then transition into a low-sink, highly responsive glider that excels at thermal detection and tight circling.

Whether you are new to DLG flying or an experienced hand-launch pilot, the Windrunner offers a rewarding balance of performance, durability, and build satisfaction.

🛠️ Lightweight Precision Balsa Construction

Unlike foam DLG models, the Windrunner is a true traditional build kit, using precision laser-cut balsa and ply parts to achieve an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

• Ultra-light balsa structure for maximum launch efficiency

• Reinforced wing root and fuselage areas for discus launching loads

• Laser-cut accuracy ensures excellent fit and alignment

• Designed for a smooth, clean aerodynamic finish

This results in a glider that is light, rigid, efficient, and easily repairable — ideal for both learning and refining DLG technique.

🎯 Designed Specifically for Discus Launch Flying

The Windrunner is optimised for:

• Efficient discus launches to good working height

• Low sink rate for thermal hunting

• Tight, stable circling in weak lift

• Excellent control authority despite its lightweight design

Its handling is predictable and smooth, making it forgiving enough for newer pilots while still offering the responsiveness that experienced DLG flyers expect.

⚙️ Servos and Covering Film Included

To make the build process easier and more accessible, this kit includes:

• Matched lightweight servos for flight controls

• Covering film for finishing the airframe

This reduces the number of additional items required and ensures the aircraft remains correctly balanced and within its intended weight range.
