Our DG-1000 at Southern Cross Gliding Club (Camden, NSW, Australia) has experienced multiple occurences of both inadvertent retraction and extension of the undercarriage. Typically the undercarrriage has dropped down whilst in flight, in various modes including straight and level in smooth air. We...

NEW - DG-1001e neo with FES with 40 HP Quality, performance, safety and all-round capabilities have always been the most important characteristics of our well known DG-1000 family since its roll-out. With more than 300 units sold, the DG-1000 family is flying in all areas of gliding. For us it was...

I've been flying my DG-101 for a year now and really love it. However, there are some gaps which haven't been sealed and I'd like to give tuning a shot. Does anyone have experience using aileron fences? Would it be worth using to increase handling? My rudder has no gap sealing to transition from...

Anyone have a .pdf copy of the DG-200 & DG-300, -300 Elan POH (English please) that you would be willing to share. Thanks Jim

I am doing a increase of service time inspection for 3000 hours on my DG-200. I just sent of the following e-mail to DG Service but am wondering if anyone would have a recent copy of the inspection document? I realize the document DG will send me will be specific to my serial number. I'd just...

Hi guys, Anyone know if there is a lfie limit on the DG-200? Gregg

One off the dump valves on my DG-200 is not completely closing. It seems that the spring mechanism that pushes down on the plug to seal it when you close the dump valve doesn't have enough "oomph" to completely close the valve. I suspect that a good cleaning might be all that is required, but if...

WANTED DG-200/202 MUST BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION,WESTERN U.S. PREFFERD.

I'm thinking of starting anew with the instrument panel in the 300. The Terra 720 radio is out, and the L-NAV works, but it came with an old Garmin 95 GPS, which looks more like a typewriter, and no logger. I'm looking to do a Cambridge 302, with a good radio, and remove the compass from atop the...

Hello all - I've got a question for the competition pilots out the Imagine you're a budding competition pilot with about 300 hours in your logbook. You've done a couple of Sports-class competitions and find them highly enjoyable. You begin to make plans to buy a partial share in a high-end...

Hi All, I'm purchasing an oxygen system for my DG-300, and I'm not sure which cylinder to buy. Can any owners comment on whether the 5.25" cylinder works? My measurements indicate it will be tight but perhaps will work. Thanks! -Dave Kammeyer XLT

Fellow pilots: Nothing's definite yet, but I have a sudden opportunity to acquire a different glider. If that happens I'll need to sell my DG-300 to complete the purchase. The ship is in excellent condition. I searched all over the country before buying it, to find the best DG-300 possible. It...

Okay, the valves at the wing root for the ballast bags have lost there "spring" . In other words, they wont stay shut. I can pull on the valve push rod slightly and get a good seal, but it leaks when I release it. Is there a spring inside that push rod boot, that can be adjusted/replaced, or...

So I would like to start flying my DG-300 with water; but the previous owner tells me that the bags weren't used for about the last 10 years. Rather than take a chance on them, I'd like to replace them. My local DG dealer (whom I do appreciate) is saying its about $1000USD per bag from the...

I'm a new owner of a 1984 DG-300 with 700 hrs. Upon first assembly, it is apparent there is approximately 1/8" gap between the wing root and fuse. Also there is what appears to be a moderate amount of movement of the wings fore/aft when moderate force is applied. What is the acceptable amount...

For a new glider pilot, do you think a DG-303 glider would be a good glider to purchase? I really like the design, and I've tried to understand all the issues that occurred around 2007 (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!starred/rec.aviation.soaring/SspUMjJ-YYo), however not sure what the end result...

The only test and recertification station to serve Utah refuses to test and fill the german factory bottles for the DG-400 since they do not have a USA DOT stamp on them. The official regulations (which he showed me) state that foreign bottles without the DOT stamp can only be tested for "EXPORT"...
