Default What magic do the JS3 and Ventus 3 have that the ASG-29 Does not?

Brett, nice to make your acquaintance. You represent a very fine product. Glad to hear that the gliders made in South Africa are less expensive than the German made gliders, as they should be since the labor rates are less than half of that paid in Germany! However, when I priced your fine products the price was comparable to the German products. Sounds like you are offering to clear this up. How much would you advise a client to budget for a JS 3 ordered today equipped with: retractable tail wheel; sustainer jet; leather interior; LX9070 w/V80;LX S3; Air-Avionics Butterfly, Trig radio; Trig transponder ADS-B out; PowerFlarm; winter airspeed; winter altimeter; Cobra trailer with SL; tow out gear; tail dolly; covers; one man rig; shipped to Houston?


Jonathan,

I am not sure if you are asking rhetorically but at the convention I spoke with the JS representatives extensively (And with the SH People) and I was quoted 203K for a JS-3 with ALL the options shipped.
A word of caution to those who wish to trade currency; Many major brokerage firms will require a certain minimum on account before they will let you do this. Mine had a 600K minimum and it allowed access to 16 currencies. Trading currencies is involved and time consuming.

I know it isn't as simple to set up International money exchange as it used to be, but I've found XE Trade to be very useful, easy and good rates.
