Yes.
Typically "exotic" gliders tend to be sold in significant numbers
outside Germany - but there are very, very few clubs in Europe who are
replacing their aging ASK-13s with something different than an ASK-21.

And, unlike
the ASK-21, they spin like real gliders.

.... which still is, inmy opinion, something that makes it unsuitable
as a first solo gider.


We've had two season's of students now do their first solos in the
DG1000's. I believe everyone is very happy and they are everything we
hoped for.

Great!
