| The DG-500 comes in a number of sizes which all
share the same basic fuselage. The 500T Elan Trainer, which first flew in
1989 has an unflapped 18 m. wing without provision for Water Ballast;
retractable gear is an option. The front cockpit design has been purposely
made similar to that of the DG-300 Club. The higher performance versions (DG-50022 Elan and DG-500 M) have a 22 m flapped wing and are,
respectively, unpowered and self-launch models. VH-XON is the powered
model (DG-500M) and has a liquid cooled Rotax powerplant on an
electrically retracting pylon, digital engine instrumentation (DEI) and Water
Ballast reduced to 100 kg / 220 lb and comes with a steerable
nosewheel. The DEI, which has instrumentation in both cockpits, shows rpm,
temperatures, pressures and fuel quantity as well as controlling the
amount of fuel injected by the electronic fuel system. Engine retraction
is automatic once the propeller has been stopped and centred. All
22m ships, which have a four piece wing, have retractable gear as
standard. Performance of the 500M is similar to the 500/22 Elan, but empty
and Gross weights are 565 kg./ 1,246 lb And 825/1,819 lb
Respectively. |
