3D model description

This model is for those who like me are looking to have their hands free when launching their glider but find that commercial dollies are too heavy, not practical, or not adapted to the shape of the wings of their glider.

So I created this model both light, able to take gliders from 500g to more than 5kg from 80cm to more than 4m without any problem. The big wheels allow a use on grass without problem.

The structure remains flexible but rigid, which allows to absorb a little the asperities of the ground

The structure was designed to accommodate any form of glider wing and a fuselage that can be imposing.

The unique shape of this glider launcher gives it a slight positive incidence that allows it to take off smoothly without any jerkiness.

Possibility of attaching it to a winch, a rubber band or as you wish.

Necessary for mounting :

10mm beech trunnion (or 10mm carbon) 2x 1m

2 wheel axles M4

2 wheel axles M5

2 wheels 55mm

2 wheels 110mm

Cutting of dowels

225mm X2 width front and middle

245mm rear width

600mm X2 side length

165mm height

210mm rear diagonal

3D printing settings
