This is the standard model with a 20 m span, winglets, retractable main gear (as described above), trim box, and water ballast.

DG-1000S-18/20

This variation has an 18 m wingspan. 1.4 meter extensions, including winglets are available as options. The 18 configuration is ideal for clubs that want to teach. And - as we already know - in this version the DG-1000 is a very good aerobatic trainer. The extensions transform the ship into a high- performance cross-country machine.

DG-1000 Club

This intended for clubs wanting a less expensive entry model. The span is fixed at 18 m, the gear is non retractable, and there is no water ballast system. Although the price is higher than that of the competition model ASK-21, the 1000 has an airfoil which is newer in design by about 20 years, has a trim box in the fin, and carbon wings which make rigging considerably easier.
