It first flew in July 2000 at Speyer in Germany.[1] There are four models, with 18- and 20-metre wings[1] of HQK-51 profile. The latest DG-1001 variant replaced the DG-505 in production.[2]

With a Template:Cvt wingspan, it is fully certified for aerobatics (+7 -5 g); with a Template:Cvt wingspan, it is certified for limited aerobatics (+5 -2.65 g).

The engine (DG1000T) is mounted on a pylon aft of the double cockpit. There is a reduction gear (2.3:1.0) between the engine and the two-blade carbon-fibre composite propeller. The propeller was designed by and made in the DG factory.

It also serves as the primary competition platform for the USAF Academy Aerobatic Demonstration Team. Its USAF designation is TG-16A.[3][4]
