The DG505 'Orion' 2 Seat training glider has been chosen as the basis of the
fleet to be used by the Foundation over the next few years. We have two such gliders and these are
available for use at any of our bases.

The DG505 Orion comes with 3 wingspan configurations through the use of removable wingtips.
The 17.2 metre span is ideal for aerobatics.
The 18 metre mode is used for general club training.
The 20 metre mode is excellent for cross country flying
