About the Dallach D4 Fascination
Aircraft overview
The Dallach D4 Fascination is a German two-seat light sport and microlight class aircraft developed by Wolfgang Dallach and associated Dallach production organizations. It first appeared in the 1990s and became known as a fast composite touring aircraft for European ultralight rules. The design is specific to the D4 Fascination line: a sleek low-wing aircraft, typically with retractable tricycle landing gear, side-by-side seating and efficient aerodynamics aimed at cross-country use rather than basic training.
Performance & specifications
Most Dallach D4 Fascination aircraft are powered by Rotax four-cylinder engines, commonly the Rotax 912 series, with some examples using higher output Rotax installations depending on national approval and modification history. Typical cruise performance is commonly reported in the 120 to 135 knot range, with economical fuel burn relative to certified two-seat tourers. Published range figures vary by fuel capacity, engine fit and operating weight, but many aircraft are configured for several hundred nautical miles of VFR touring. Maximum operating weights depend on registration category, commonly around European microlight limits, so payload must be checked against the individual empty weight, fuel load and installed equipment. Service ceiling is generally adequate for normal VFR touring, with exact figures best verified from the aircraft’s flight manual.
Cabin & avionics
The cabin seats two occupants side by side under a clear canopy, giving good outward visibility and a compact sports-aircraft feel. Baggage capacity is modest and must be evaluated together with weight and balance data. The D4 Fascination was not delivered with a standardized integrated avionics suite such as Garmin Perspective or Garmin G1000. Used examples are more often equipped with conventional VFR instruments, engine monitoring, radio and transponder, sometimes upgraded with modern light-aircraft glass panels from suppliers such as Dynon, MGL or Garmin experimental and light sport product lines.
Buying & value
Prospective buyers should verify the exact variant, registration category, empty weight, engine model, propeller approval and landing gear configuration. Documentation quality matters, including build records for kit-built examples, maintenance history, compliance with national ultralight requirements and any structural repair history. Particular attention should be paid to composite condition, canopy fit, retractable gear operation, Rotax service status and propeller logs. On the used market, the Dallach D4 Fascination is positioned as a niche high-performance two-seat microlight for experienced private owners who value speed and efficiency over cabin volume or certified-aircraft standardization.
