After reading about Paul Clark's experience with 750mm span class HLG's in RCSD, we decided DAW needed to a have a foamie ship in this class. It's so compact, lightweight and easy to launch, you can fly it virtualy anywhere. In addition to that, it has the extra durability that EPP offers. While it's certainly not a combat ship, it's quite capable of taking some fairly significant abuse without damage. We've fished our's out of the neighbor's giant, plane-eating, pine tree quite a few times! It's light weight allows awesome launches without throwing out your shoulder, too! Where'd we get the funny name? Well, this model is very loosely based on the innovative, full-scale Maupin Carbon Dragon.. You real scale buffs will see the resemblence.
While we really don't claim this ship to be a 'trainer', it's taught quite a few people how to fly R/C models. If you have an area where there's tall grass or sand to soften the blow of crashes, this model could provide good service as a trainer, particularly if an instructor is available. Though you're likely to break it in training, it's simple enough to fix quickly, and will continue to give good service if kept in reasonable condition.
2 channel - Rudder/Elevator. Recommended radio equipment includes (2) FMA S-80 sub-micro servos (or equal), 75 to 100 mah NiCd pack and 27 mhz micro receiver (with Hitec SSII Tx); All this will result in 4.5 ounce plane. If you've got the cash, you can get smaller equipment and reduce weight from there. We've also tested Hitec 535 and 555 receivers with the cases removed, but these do incur about a .15 ounce weight penalty.

After the success of the 1-26 HLG, we decided we wanted a larger version that could be used for thermal duration or slope flying. The result is our 1-26 2 Meter! It sticks with the popular SD7037 airfoil, but uses a slab balsa tail group to both save weight and offer increased stiffness for hard winch launching. As always, we've made an effort to keep expenditure on radio equipment to a minimum by designing for standard sized servos, receiver and battery in the fuselage, and mid-sized servos in the wings. Standard servos can also be used in the wings, but it is a tight fit and incurrs a slight weight penalty.

After completing design and development of our foamie warbirds, the DAW factory turned it's attention to creating a new trainer-class sailplane using the proven and abuse-worthy EPP foam construction technology. The result is our new TG-3 Foamie Trainer. As is customary for us at DAW, we designed the model to be a semi-scale rendition of an actual aircraft; in this case the classic Schweizer TG-3 training glider used by the US Army Air Corps during World War II. Although it's looks are striking, it's still simple to build and easy to fly! These kits are very complete, and only require glues, tape, covering film and radio equipment to complete. Why struggle with repairing a conventional trainer on less-than-perfect landings or blowing it up on the winch or a monster highstart? Let combat technology work for you! Let the plane take the pain - not you!
2 channel Rudder/Elevator with Polyhedral or 3 channel Aileron/Elevator/Rudder with plain dihedral wing. Kit may be built in either configuration.

| Have you ever tried to catch a conventional trainer like this? Image the sound of crunching wood... With the DAW TG-3, you don't have to worry about breaking anything - the resilient foam bounces right back! | Another wing catch by LNSSG's John Roe. Note patched appearance of this beta-test model, which was tested every day for a month with intent emphasis on destruction. |

This model was born of pure self-interest! I wanted a tough, lightweight handlaunch glider (HLG) that I could take down to my local public park and fly around for a while to take a break from the shop and the phones. Of course, it also had to look like a 'real' airplane, so I choose the venerable Schweizer 1-26 as a scale subject. The earlier 1-26 models always appealed to my aesthetic senses most with the elliptical fin/rudder and vintage color scheme possibilities. After many prototypes and many hours of shoulder wrenching testing and experimentation, this was the result! This is the ultimate fly-anywhere HLG and is perfect for taking on trips or keeping around the office to fly on your lunch break at work. It shrugs off light poles, trees, cars, flying buddies, etc. to give maximum fun with minimum shop time. Certainly not competitive in today's contest environment, but certainly a blast for sport flying in seemingly impossible locations. It's thermal flying capabilities may really surprise you, and it's excellent as a light lift slope ship.
