DG-1 flights
I posted the following here in late October 2002 from notes I had on the DG-1:
"...It first flew July 25,1977 and Jane's reported ten test flights by early 1979. Some old published specs were: Length 20' 6", Wingspan 20'0", wing area 52.5 sq. ft., height 5'6" and Gross weight of 2,400 pounds. The last I saw on it was Paul Lamar's article on rotary engines in the February 2002 Sport Aviation where he says Tracy Cook of Real World Solutions is helping Dave Garber get it back in shape. Other old references of note were: Model Aviation, Aug 87 p.74-75; Air Racing Magazine (Werner & Werner Corp.), Winter 74 p. 36-37,42-43; Air Progress, June 75 p.4; Sport Aviation, March 76 p.25-28; Jane's All The World's Aircraft, at least between 1976 and 1979; and Sport Aviation June 1990 p.23 showing color photo of the racer as she sat in the Sun 'n Fun Museum in those days..."
An article by Dave Garber detailing the whole program from initial design to present would be an interesting read to be sure. Does anyone know if there ever was such a thing-maybe in some Florida EAA Chapter newsletter or such?
