Any belly hook DG needs full down trim for takeoff. Nose hook not so much.


Neither DG-300, nor DG-600, nor DG-800 need full down trim for an
aerotow. All of them belly hook.

I haven't flown DG-100 nor DG-200.

p.s.
We converted both of my club's DG-300s to nose hooks (due to German
legislation), so we could compare both hook positions on the same
gliders.

Absolutely NO trim change if the nose hook was used instead of the CG
hook.
