DG-808C - 'no competion'

wrote: Having looked around the pages of glider manufacturers I noticed a strange thing.All new gliders are represented in competions with exception of DG808C. It hardly shows up at any. You may have a look at the italian Coppa del Mediterraneo, held every year during August in Rieti, italy (see Soaringspot.com). There's at least a couple of 808s, some of them are flown to good results. Most of the competitive pilots who have chosen different gliders, told me that thay don't like the parallelogram stick. Others declare that the 800series dosn't have a "feel" for thermals and airmass movements equal to the V2s and ASHs. BTW, they generally prefer lighter "turbo" or pure variants. Personally, I have tested the LS-10 and I really loved it. I would consider this sailplane when choosing a competitive 18m ship. aldo cernezzi |
