That is exciting, and just like you said, it's first flight was a
Thursday.

they are true to their word! )
the standing question was always "when will it fly?" and the standard answer
from HpH was "Thursday" .they just never could say which "thursday" )

Also, HpH will now begin taking production orders. Up until now HpH would
not accept deposits for this new sailplane until after the first flights
were accomplished. They have however had a "Pre-order" waiting list to give
preferential ordering times to those who have already expressed their
interest to buy this new ship. This list has some 50+ "pre-orders" that will
now be confirmed or removed from the list for firm orders. During the course
of 2007 it is likely that only about 10 can be completed and delivered. The
very first 10 units will have special basic pricing at only EU59500 (that's
EU10,000 under ! normal anticipated costs) and then the normal price will be
EU69,500 and adjusted as needed then for production costs, inflation and so
on.
I hope to have the options list published on my website in the next week or
so. Anyone interested, please contact myself or HpH http://www.hph.cz/ for
further details.
