Design your own Instrument Panel
Is there something that I have to be aware of when choosing instruments? Do they all fit? Does it matter where I put them? Well, all those questions have to be taken care of up front. A lot of these questions are frequently asked and use a lot of time until everything is solved and set up the way you like it – and that’s our goal…
We hope that this will aid you, if you like, and give you an idea of the possibilities you or we have.
Our customer Peter Strube has designed a set of PowerPoint files for the different instrument panels together with the suitable instruments. Herewith I like to say “Thank you very much, Peter, for your work!&qu
- Please download the file you need and store it under a different name first. (You will probably have to use the original file once again without modification).
- Now please select the instruments of your choice and simply drawn them to the place on the panel where you want it to be.
- Please also be aware of specific restrictions, such as the throttle at the lower left section of the DEI in our DG-808C.
Once you have set up your personal panel you can print it out and simply mail or fax it together with the order formulas.
Other than that we hope you’ll have fun designing your own panel this way.
Have fun!
The Instrument Panels (as ppt)
| instrument-panel-dg808c | DG-808C |
| instrument-panel-dg1000s | DG-1001S |
| instrument-panel-dg1000t | DG-1001M und T |
| instrument-panel-ls | LS8 / LS10 |
At the annual German Gliding conference in Stuttgart one of the speakers, an expert of pressure instruments, made the following statement: Of all the instruments in a glider the ASI is the most important one. Therefore one should choose the bigger size of 80 mm for the ASI rather than 57 mm. Experience also shows that the smaller, 57 mm type can be pretty inaccurate and display incorrect values. So please let me reiterate this:
Please do buy your ASI only in the bigger size of 80 mm.
Installation of the LX-9000 in DG- and LS-Gliders
It already was a special problem to place an LX-8000 in DG- or LS-instrument panels and now the new LX-9000 is even bigger.
So we have designed a special panel for the DG-800 and the LS-6/7/8/10.
But for some older DG-800 this retrofit is just impossible because of the big DEI. If you are interested in installing an LX-9000 in your glider, please ask our Service department first for an offer.
If desired we can design new instrument panels for other types of gliders, too.
There is no doubt:
The LX-9000 is a fascinating flight computer!

New Instrument Panel for DG-808C Competition
DG Flugzeugbau has developed a new instrument panel and cover to house flight computers with large screens such as the LX9000. This design now becomes the new standard panel for all DG-808C Competition.
Customers owning older DG-800 models can also equip their glider with this new panel. In case of such a retrofit, a new instrument panel as well as a new instrument cover is necessary.
Orders can be placed via Samantha Koerner:
