GENERAL INFORMATION:
Thank you for purchasing the Laser Arts QF2 DLG kit. The QF2 was designed by Paul Daniels. You can see the development of this glider
and find more information about Paul and his other designs on his web site at
www.pldaniels.com/flying/
The QFII was designed out of the need for a built-up discus launch capable glider in the 50” wingspan class that wouldn’t cost much and
could be built by most people within a week using rudimentary tools and materials. The current QFII is the result of no less than five separate
iterations of design, progressively improving both the launch performance and glide duration while also keeping the build process within the
capabilities of most hobbyist workshops.
The QF2 is capable of 120’ launches, putting it in a nice class of performance for an inexpensive built-up glider. If you’re new to DLG, be
patient, it takes a while to learn how to launch properly to reach these launch heights.
We’d like to thank Paul for letting us kit his fine design. You can read the threads on RC Groups (
www.rcgroups.com
) and see just how
much work Paul has put into the design. You’ll also find building tips and a place to ask questions if you get stuck anywhere or want to chat
with him or myself.
Please let us know about your experiences building and flying this model. We look forward to customer feedback and want to know how
you’re doing with it!
Thank you,

ASSEMBLY ADVICE:
1.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS all the way through and study the plans BEFORE starting any work on this model!
2.
Make sure you completed the above. Yes, this is important enough to state twice.
3.
Tape the plans to your nice clean work surface and cover it with plastic wrap or wax paper. You do want to keep your work surface
clean and not glue your parts to the plans, right?
4.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY PART FROM THE SHEETS UNTIL YOU NEED THEM. You do NOT want them laying around
getting damaged before you need them.
5.
DO NOT FORCE the fit of any part. If the fight seems too tight, stop, make sure you have the right part and it’s going in the right
way. If it’s still too tight, lightly sand the part so it fits.
6.
Make solid glue joints.
7.
If something is not clear to you, ask us through email or on RC Groups. It’s better to ask than make a mistake.
