Comment:
The Standard Class successor to the DG-101 featues an HQ airfoil with blow-holes to inject high-energy air into the boundary layer to delay laminar separation. It has fin ballast for center of gravity control. Approach control is by top surface Schemmpp-Hirth type airbrakes. Like other DG ships, the ﾖ300 features a parallelogram stick to avoid turbulence-included control inputs. Some were manufactured by Elan in Slovenia. The DG-300 Club is a simplified version with a fixed main wheel suitable for club use.
