The wing dismentle into 4 parts, fuselage into 2 for ease of transport, but only a large van can transport because the wing after dismentling has a length of 3m.
I programmed the flaps on take off to be at 10 degree.
I have seen other modeller fly this DG1000 with Jetcat P160 in youtube, however model turbine is banned in my flying field due to the danger of loosing control, my only option is the AFT25XS.
However to balance the DG1000 I have place 1.5Kg of weight in the nose, my DG1000 all up weight is 22Kg. I also have flaps on this plane hopefully it will help during the self powered launch.
So far I have not fly my DG1000S with the AFT 25XS. After I saw your 3 failed attempts, I wonder what has happened?
Have you found out the reason why it could not take off? I saw that whenever you run the AFT 25XS your DG1000S has a nose dive, can this be the cause of it?
First the position of the main wheel is too far backwards. Secondly the field grass on the field was very thick, and not short enough. The main wheel digged in a little bit, and thirdly I think the wheelbrake played a small part in it, Now I have mounted a small spring on the brake, so the brake won't rest on the wheel anymore. Last weekend I had a new try in windy conditions (5 bft), and it went very good. On sunday I made a start (2bft). I placed a new video of this third start.
Thank you moonrakerBXL for sharing your tips. My Paritech DG1000 comes with the main wheel already installed by the manufacturer, therefore I cannot change its position, as for the brake it is also installed by the manufacturer and has a spring pulling it back from the wheel.
I saw your video on your failed attempt to take off your Paritech DG1000S with Florian Schambeck Klapptriebwerke AFT 25XS System, I too have such a plane and set up, I used 4 pieces of LiPo batteries rated at 18.5V 5000mAh 15C each and connected to give 37V 10,000mAh LiPo batteries to power it.
My DG1000 is slightly bigger,
Scale: 1/2.25
Wing Span: 8.88m
Weight: 20 to 24Kg

My DG1000 is a 1/3 scale glider.
Span : 6;80m, weight: 18,5kg.
I've got the balance point at 7cm at the root rib.
Flaps 5 to 7° down will certainly help getting of the ground.
