I took a few minutes of video exploring inside the cockpit of the DG303 and hopefully PM'd it to the right person. Hope it's usable!

Hi KipperUK,

Sorry for the late response.

The wing bolts are the only ones clearly visible, thank you so much for your efforts.
Unfortunately, for a good looking cockpit, canopy and landing gear I still need a lot of detailed closeup photos.
I have found a club in my area where I can take pictures of a DG 303 and I am waiting for an invitation.

Sincerely,

Jan

Hi,

Thank you everyone for sending me pictures.
I have a question.
The model I am making is a DG 303 Elan.
The picture shows an emergency eject handle instead of a round ball.
Is this the latest version of the DG 303 and is this version common?

This DG303 was one of the last ones sold by DG. No need for the yearly fee to keep the spare parts available zg. 'Betreuungsvertrag'

Thanks Yann for the answer.

Will make this latest version including the new backrest without the headrest mounted to the canopy.

I have delivered it to the devs for comment and animation, but they are very busy and in the middle of the flight season, so it will take a while unfortunately
