DG-1001RES
DG-1001RES | New Standard Equipment | Predicted performance values* | Options | Versatile and future-proof | Secure your spot!
With the DG1001RES we present our latest centerpiece among two-seaters – a consistent further development of the DG1001 family with future-oriented RES technology (electric self-launching via Solo Aircraft RES system).
Innovative drive system for greater range and flexibility
The DG1001RES is based on the DG1001E and is combined with the efficient Solo Aircraft RES system. Two fuselage batteries are installed as standard, allowing for 3-4 self-launches. This flexibility opens up new possibilities for training, cross-country flying, and aerobatics.
Flexible like no otherThe DG1001RES was developed with a focus on cross-country soaring and electrification. Therefore, the 20m neo outer wing panels are standard. However, the aircraft can also be used for aerobatics and training.

Training with RESMany clubs are struggling with declining student and member numbers. To counteract this trend, rapid learning progress is crucial. The faster a student pilot progresses, the higher the likelihood that they will complete their training and remain with the club. This is precisely where the DG1001RES can be effectively deployed. Not every airfield has good thermal conditions. Often, many takeoffs are necessary to teach the important basics, especially at the beginning of training. The DG1001RES allows you to turn short circuit flights into extended training launches, improving the practical application of knowledge. By using the RES system only briefly during each launch, you can more easily reach thermals and effectively practice the exercises. The result is increased learning success, greater enjoyment of the training, and a reduction in the training period. The DG1001RES is also the ideal companion for further training, for example to obtain the self-launch authorization. |
 | Flying knows no borders!The DG1001RES, in its version with electric retractable landing gear, will also be equipped with a handicap system. The lever on the left side panel, normally used for the manual retractable landing gear, will be used for rudder operation, allowing people with disabilities to enjoy the beauty of our sport. The lever does not interfere with pilots without disabilities and can therefore remain in the cockpit. Removal is not necessary, which simplifies its use within the club when pilots change. The DG1001RES can also be retrofitted with a handicap control system if needed. This allows us to offer interested individuals with physical disabilities the opportunity to begin glider training with us – even if they are not currently club members. In this way, we can make gliding accessible to everyone and actively promote inclusion within the club. Note: Many organizations and countries support disability sports and promote the implementation of handicap systems! |
