Deuche Folksegel Flugzeug Gmb. proposed a very interesting and elegant solution to the notorious problem of very slow and painfully long self lunch of all German motor gliders. Simple electromagnetic clutch between the motor and the glider main wheel will allow the glider to gain the take off speeds in time much shorter then it was possible in traditional configuration that is the propeller only acceleration. All power of the motor is being initially transfer to the glider main wheel. Clutch is disengaging after the glider is reaching the 7/8 of its takeoff speed. Test performed on 04.01.2010 showed that it is possible to take off a two sitters like DG1001, from the runway as short as 120 feet…or with a headwind, even shorter. |

Or that all the other European glider manufacturers will begin
mandatory "Manufacturer Club Membership" just as DG/LS has done. The kind of club membership where you have to pay Euro 245 per year to join, and you don't even get a tee-shirt for that price. No hat, no lapel pin, no beer glass with company logo. Nothing. Ray Lovinggood Carrboro, North Carolina, USA |

You get a sheet of paper to put in your manual that lets you fly your glider.
