training. I of coarse can be wrong.
You are. Our club regularly uses the DG1000 for primary training.
Retractable gear and 20 meters, no problem whatsoever. And rugged it is.
The only weak point is the less than optimal view from the rear seat.
Critics may mention the high cockpit which is hard to enter and the
heavy tail. Well, the technique to enter the cockpit can be learned. And
the heavy tail can easily be lifted if one of the pilots or whoever sits
on the gliders nose. At least we are very happy with it.
