Great DLGHigh quality product with a nice surface finish, easy to build and a joy to fly!
Was worried about the short boom and its overall "short" length but it is very stable, very agile and light like a feather. A great DLG!
Great service from hyperflight and received it within 5 working days to central europe.

Very niceThis was my first new DLG and it wasn't difficult to install the radio. My other DLGs have been old second hand models, this is a lot more pleasing to look at and the fit of everything is very nice.

The best build qualityAlready own original falcon which had the best build quality I have seen, even better than the vortex 4 which I also own. I didn’t think it could get any better, but the falcon 2 is a further improvement. From the recessed control links in the fuselage to the really well thought out ballast system and now it has a removable tail fin (like a lot of others) but with an internal locking pin so you aren’t having to straighten it after each landing. The falcon also happens to be the easiest dlg to put together (I’ve built a few other models) but this falcon 2 should be even easier with the new fin.
Big thanks to Oleg for a fantastic design, I already know how well it flies, that’s why I’m back for another. Great service from Neil at hyperflight as usual.

Best DLG I've Ever OwnedI've been flying DLGs on and off for maybe the past 10-12 years and the Falcon is far and away the best flying of them all. The build is incredibly straightforward and most of the hard work is already done for you. As far as thermaling performance goes, I'll just say that the Falcon doesn't want to come down. If there's any lift at all, the plane will tell you where it is, and go up, up, up.

Excellent DLGA quick and safe arrival to Australia, my thanks to Neil Stainton, the quality of this kit is very impressive. I know there is not much to build but as I've not assembled a DLG before (or anything else for a very long time) I read RC Groups Falcon thread which was very helpful and I took my time and overall I'm very pleased with the result. Only a couple of flights so far but so rewarding, it adds another dimension to nearly 40 years of my RC glider experiences!

Excellent productVery good quality plane, good price. This plane is competitive with CX5. Out launches CX5. Easy to fly. I'll take 2.

Nice DLGIt’s awesome for turning with energy saving, and sensitive to thermal upwind. I assembled both light and regular versions. Light version weighs 204g with two KSTs and two BMSs.
Wide range can be covered through many conditions. Penetration is excellent relatively with other slow DLGs.
Nice quality and customer respect.
Ukraine did one more miracle!
