For all those contemplating the same, get yourself a DLG kit. They really
need to be purpose built to stand up. Keep the Omega as a javelin launcher.
Javelin is still fun, if not as competitive.

Subject: [RCSE] NSP Omega as DLHGL?
Has anyone considered converting one of the NSP Omega's to
DL?
I picked up one of these last summer later in the season and
didn't get around to putting it together then. Now, DL is the
rage and I have one very obsolete HLG.
Reading some of what others have said and looking at it, I
have hope. I think that the original v-tail may work ok as it
is an aileron ship, but more likely I'll need to shorten the
fuselage slightly and put on a regular rudder/stab combo.
As for the wing, I think the composite LE/TE may be sufficiently
strong... this is why I'm thinking this way at all. I'd expect
I'd want to glue together the center section (instead of just
bolting it onto the fuse) and add some sheet-fill reinforcement
around the throwing peg area, perhaps filling in 2-3 tip bays
with light balsa, along with a kevlar patch top and bottom.
Thoughts?
TIA!
