Thinking about buying a DG400
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.

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!).

You don't (or didn't) need to own one to join this group: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/...sersGroup/info But the frequent appearance of the word "vibration" scared me off. Went for a Wank(el) instead. Jim
