Diana-2, VH-VHZ, English
http://www.segelflug.de/cgi-bin/wwwt...vc=1#Post68917

Many good things have been written and read about Diana-2.... but there is a
Diana-2 with serial number 3 and the call-sign VH-VHZ

which unfortunately stranded in Australia.

The manufacturer is proud that they delivered a plane to the multiple world
record pilot.

But unfortunately the plane which arrived in Tocumwal (Australia) limped and
never raced. It even did not receive the Australian airworthiness.

This plane really must have been born sick. Even the wheel broke off the
tail dolly. But at least that was repairable.
Many emails were sent to the manufacturer from December 2006 on to solve the
various problems, but the factory stayed silent: no sign of cooperation or
customer care.

The same pilot had flown several world records with Diana-1. I wished I
could fly as good.
VH-VHZ only did test flights in Tocumwal - no cross country flights - no
records - frustration only for everybody involved.

After his flight with Diana-2 World Champion Ingo Renner commented: The
potential of this glider cannot be achieved, due to its bad handling
problems at the moment.

Still the manufacturer seems to be uncooperative and a negative comment in
the online guestbook of the manufacturer about the event was deleted a day
later.

It is unsure if this craw ever will morph into an eagle.
Obviously the manufacturer tries to cover up the whole story about the
existence of a Diana-2 with malicious flight characteristics.

Six month have now passed without any help for the customer to solve the
problems. That's why the grace period of public silence has run out.
