Default Discus/DG-300 performance difference

I had never heard of slip on winglets for the ASW-24. I bought factory winglets and I imagine virtually all ASW-24's have winglets so that should be a non-issue. As stated before the ASW-24 is a great glider and is worthy of consideration for a new or experienced pilot. Standard class is nice for new pilots, less to think about just fly. The standards lose out on the high end of the polar as compared to flapped ships but that really will not be a factor most pilots.


"Slip on" winglets were an interim way to do winglet development on the '24 before Gerhard had started working on the winglet for the '24. Later we cut the tips off to match factory configuration and continued the development based on that. It worked out well with almost 40 sets installed.

How costly is it to put a nose hook on DG300?

Does anyone know?
