| History: | The Standard Class successor to the DG-101 featues an HQ airfoil with blow-holes to inject high-energy air into the boundary layer to delay laminar separation. Some were manufactured by Elan in Slovenia. | |
| Notes: | The DG-300 has fin ballast for center of gravity control. Approach control is by top surface Schemmpp-Hirth type airbrakes. Like other DG ships, the –300 features a parallelogram stick to avoid turbulence-included control inputs. |
