The Glaser-Dirks DG-100 is in private use with us. The first product of Glaser-Dirks made of GRP is a license building from Slovenia, which gives her the name “G-ELAN”. It has very good flying capabillities, water tanks, retractable landing gear and is used by the holders exclusively for long distance and thermal flights. The only small drawback is the divided cab cover, the view through the additional frame in some situations a bit obstructed.
