I suspect the Discii will remain with the racing team for a while yet..

Anyone know what a fixed gear DG1000 runs pricewise?


DG 1001 Club with fixed gear and fixed 18m tips just over EUR 80,000
base price at the moment, add 10 - 20K for instruments/basic options
and some 12K for a Cobra trailer...

So for the cost of one F35 Lightning we could have about 1300 DGs.
End of training glider crisis. ;-)
