Discus-launch Gliders: history, kits, and building tips. DISCUS-LAUNCH Gliders look like oversized Hand-Launched
Gliders (HLGs). A 3-foot wingspan is typical.
Instead of the usual overhand, near-vertical javelin throw,
discus-launch Gliders are gripped by the wingtip and thrown with
a circular motion that is slightly above horizontal. The discus
action is not only much easier on the arm, but it also yields a
considerably higher launch altitude.
