Gambler AG DLG Glider

The Gambler-AG is the latest refinement of the Gambler+. The Gambler-AG includes the following improvements:

• AG36 airfolis designed by Mark Drela
• Increased span to 50" to maximum allowed span for limited class competition
• Improved laser-cut wing hold down assembly
• Stiffer Avia boom
• Increased polehedral for better turning response
• Laser-cut trailing edges for easier assembly
• Improved rib design to allow flush D-tube and center section sheeting
• Modified rudder mounting position for straighter launches

These improvements were the combined efforts of Mark Drela, Oleg Golividov, Phil Barnes, Northeast Aerodynamics, Inc. and Wright Brothers RC.

The Gambler-AG is a discus-launchable hand-launch glider (DLG) made of built up balsa and composite material construction. It has been designed as an affordable alternative to the more expensive all-composite discus and side-arm launch gliders available today. The Gambler-AG is a hobby-class airplane for those who wish to enjoy the sport of high-performance DLGs without the high cost.

With a wing loading well under 4 oz./ft.² and the ability to side-arm launched easily to heights of 80 feet or more, The Gambler-AG gives you 80 percent of the performance of the all-composite DLGs at 25 percent of the cost and makes a great transition plane from built-up mosquito-class DLGs, such as RCM's The Bug, to the all-composite competition class HLGs, such as the Risk, Texas Twister, Taboo, etc.
