DG Flugzeugbau decided to develop new 15m Winglets for the LS8.

We have been thinking a lot how to increase the LS8’s performance during the last months. A new tailwheel with significantly smaller dimensions is available since last summer. The next step is a new set of winglets with a conventional design compared to the well knows LS “Wolf” winglets. Our calculations show a noticeable gain in performance!

DG will mill the winglet molds in February and test flights are planned during March.
