Simple question. Why are DG sailplanes so seldom seen in competition?
Thanks

Rick,
A DG 300 just won the AirSailing Sports class regional, and another did well in the Standard Class nats ( both handicapped races.) I feel that most DG's have been motorgliders and in general MG pilots do not race. The DG 800 is not quite the performance equal of the newer 18m ships.
