Janusz,

Could I ask if you know how many hours it takes the SZD factory to build a
Jantar or any of the other composite gliders they produce ? Where do the
composite materials (fiber, resin and core) come from, the Easter bloc or
from the West ???

Congrats to SZD for making 5000 gliders. That's a bunch. How many years

did
it take. What is their production rate and how does it compare with

Western
European (German) factories? Must be a high percentage of training

gliders?
Any military?
I have owned German gliders with serial numbers in the low hundreds

after
being in production for several years, seeming to indicate a lower

annual
rate. Am I missing something?

There's a cumulative table listing all the gliders made by the SZD, along
with the IS gliders included.
