The 'LS' (maintenance contract with DG) tax is not really necessary. I own a LS6a and if you don't have a big repair or you don't need special components you don't have to contact DG... Lukas

And if $250 per year is going to "keep you from buying a sailplane", you weren't really going to buy a sailplane in the first place, now were you?

Steve, with all due respect, I suspect you are at heart not a sailplane pilot but an airplane pilot with talk like that. You of anyone should know that any sailplane pilot flying a $200,000 glass slipper would bitch, complain, gnash teeth and get white caps on blood pressure by a charge of anything over $20. On this very site I have personally seen sailplane pilots complain about the $5 for a Mark IV! yaw string while another priced the strings at $4. There must be a newsgroup for airplane pilots?
