It's here ....
The DG-800 was planned primarily as a powered self-launching sailplane. In the meantime it has spawned many variants, differentiated by the type of powerplant (Rotax, Midwest or Solo), the span extensions (15 metre, 18 metre, both in variants with or without winglets), maximum allowed take-off mass, etc.
In my opinion the best I've made.
I made a DG-800a
The cockpit is definetly the best one i made and i really want to make these cockpits as good looking as I can.
And then there is the conopy that has a little
window
And very inportent the banana
And then there is the Amazing Wingflex
The Slefstart prop that looks and works very nice
Hope you like the glider and have good day.

@210100 Thx mate!
@TheGliderGuy you son of a bitch you made it congrats to 25k
@BeeEngineer not an engineer
@BeeEngineer It is a glider (more specifically, a motor glider).
The aircraft is designed to operate without an engine. It uses the engine for self takeoff and flight sustainment in the event that thermals are poor.
This is different from regular airplanes, which do require an engine for flight.
The engine on a sailplane is an accessory for convenience, not a necessity.
@FOXG Thanks mate!
Not a glider.
@TheGliderGuy no problem
@Otana Thanks mate!
