Gliding ... Over the Edge           CARREFULL! :  Fully Aerobatic

Have you ever felt like being in a James Bond movie? Well this is your chance.

Climb aboard the amazing DG 500 M for the ride of your life. This aircraft is a stunning example of man’s ingenuity to build with style, grace and precision. This glider has been deemed the best looking lady in the sky and we couldn’t agree more. She was built with the sole intention of soaring for as long as possible and with a 22-meter wingspan you can see why. In fact, the DG is rated as a competition glider and without a doubt one of our favourite aircraft in the hangar. Now don’t get us wrong, we love all our aircraft here at Byron Bay Gliding but once you see her in person you’ll see what I mean. Very Bond... James Bond.

The DG has a retractable engine that assists you in getting off the ground but you won’t need it for very long. Once you have found your first thermal, the engine conveniently tucks itself away into the fuselage of the aircraft giving you the best aerodynamics possible. The whispering wind is the only sound reminding you of being in an aircraft. You are now becoming the master of the sky with the clouds as your nearest neighbour. 

After take off we climb out to sea towards Cape Byron to 3500 feet. Once the engine is retracted you will experience some of the most amazing flying you’ve ever done or will ever want to do. We leave that up to you. This will be the biggest rush you will ever experience in your life as the DG is capable to do pretty much anything you ever dreamed of doing in an aircraft.

Hit speeds in flight of over 250 km/h, steep turns, Chandelles, Lazy Eight, loops, you name it, this glider is more than capable. What is a Chandelle? No, we won’t be serving you one of those expensive French dishes on board but we will serve up one of the best experiences you will ever have in an aircraft. Tell you what, jump aboard and experience it for yourself. We promise that it will be the best explanation you have ever been given.
