We have just published the latest newsletter for the Pipistrel Sinus
and
Virus Motorgliders manufactured in Slovenia.

VIRUS motorgliders ???

You too can be the envy of the tea party when you tell 'em...
Ya got a.... VIRUS in Slovenia. g


Barnyard BOb- not from Madison Avenue


P.S.
I didn't mention SINUS.....
cause mine are in good shape.

However, it might be worth noting that anyone
looking to market a product in the USA or elsewhere...
contemplate/research names very carefully. It can spell
the difference between disaster and success at times.

You mean like GM's electric car--the Impact?

Or that ladies' jogging shoe--the Incubus?

Or the diet lozenge Ayds?


1 = pipistrel - small european bat also known as a flittermouse.

IIUC Flittermouse or fleddermouse, litterally means 'flying mouse'
and is the generic German word for 'bat'.

2 = Sinus - Pathology, A fistula leading from a pus-filled cavity.
3 = Virus - Various simple submicroscopic parasites of plants,
animals, and bacteria that often cause disease.
