This is great info on the DG400.
Does anyone have a link to the DG 400 owner's thread that keeps getting mentioned?
I plan to upgrade from my DG 100 to a DG 400 in the next 5 years. Like most pilots, too many missed opportunities to soar b/c of towplane issues...
I too worry about engine maintenance though, however I love the wings of the DG 400/17. The straight leading edge is just gorgeous even if it isn't as efficient.
I know of a nice DG-400 sitting on my airfield (CPC3) in Ontario, Canada. It's posted on W&W for $55k USD. Well maintained, the owner was using it to chase records in the Canadian Rockies until last year.
I've offered him a straight trade on my lovely Kestrel 19, but he declined (drats!).
