We sold our other DG-505 to Sandhill Soaring Club in Michigan. It has become their club’s favorite two-seater, even over their Duo. Please call if you have any questions. We encourage an inflight demonstration. Aircraft is in almost ‘as new condition’. Must be seen and flown to appreciate. Great beginner to advanced. Aircraft is owned by its own LLC, (typically no sales tax) and the LLC can be purchased with the aircraft. Aircraft is flown often so current hours are occurring. This aircraft does NOT require a service contract from DG to purchase parts! Many more photos are available. Contact L/D MAX Sales 3908 Willow Creek Rd.
