Libelles suffer from a lack of rudder authority when rolling quickly at low speed, but are easy to rig.
They also have balsa core wings, rather than foam.

Only a the H301 Libelles were Balsa core and perhaps a few of the early 201s. All I have seen have been foam core.



Its worth reading Richard Johnsons flight test of the DG100.

Fixed tail and elevator is the best model.
The fuselage is 800mm longer on the DG, the longer tail and larger rudder and elevator moment imparts good stability
If you fly a lot in weak conditions, lean towards the lighter weight Libelle.
