Anyone know what a fixed gear DG1000 runs pricewise?


It looks like DG is into the US taxpayer for 4655 euro per year in
maintenance fees alone...


You only have to pay the maintenance fees/get a maintenance contract
if you have a DG/LS glider that was build before the current owner(s)
took over DG and later LG after their respective bankruptcies. That
also means that if you buy a new glider from them as of right now you
are entitled to the usual stuff as with other glider manufacturers.
Not saying this is good or bad, just stating the facts with no
intentions of getting into that discussion again... :-)
