DG-300 Cockpit

The Glaser-Dirks DG-300 is a Standard Class single-seat high performance sailplane built of glass-reinforced plastic. The DG-300 was designed by Wilhelm Dirks and manufactured by Glaser-Dirks Flugzeugbau's Slovenian partner company Elan. A total of 511 of all versions were built since production started in 1983. Representative contemporary types from competing manufacturers are the Rolladen-Schneider LS4 and the Schempp-Hirth Discus.

Note that the download is testing so if it breaks you should wait a while and re-download it in case it doesn't work.
