It is where they screwed the guys that had been waiting 2.5 years for their new V2C, and had paid their $90,000. Six weeks after it arrived in port the new V2cx was announced. They couldn't get it right the first time so they went back to the V2C updated the vertical fin airfoil, perhaps the elevator and it got newly designed outer wing panels. I think I worked though my issues on that one, although I have not purchased a SH glider since.
waited 2.5 years for my first brand new glider and six weeks later it was the old model, !@#$%^&*((*&^
