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.
