Yes please, could you tell me more about the DG-100G ELAN vs the DG-101?
The LS-1c is definitively at the top of my list, but I would look at

another ASW.

Regards - Paga

The 101 had some minor improvements over the 100G :

- Full length forward opening canopy (vs the 100 with it's fixed front and
removable or rearward hinged back section)

- Automatic elevator connection

- Shock absorbers on the mainwheel mechanism

afaik there are no aerodynamic differences - the 100G of course already had
the fixed tailplane vs the all moving tail of the original 100.

Technically I think most DG101's are the DG101G-ELAN (which means they have
the fixed tail and were produced by the ELAN company in Slovenia).

Either of the fixed tail versions makes a very nice first glider, the 101G
is slightly nicer with the big canopy. They have very good control
authority at low speeds, nice handling, good airbrakes and reasonable
performance. Gelcoat on DG's lasts longer than some others, but of course
will not last forever and does depend on the climate and use.
