Perhaps taxpayers can get a special deal on their used Duo Discii?

I suspect the Discii will remain with the racing team for a while yet.

Anyone know what a fixed gear DG1000 runs pricewise?

DG 1001 Club with fixed gear and fixed 18m tips just over EUR 80,000
base price at the moment, add 10 - 20K for instruments/basic options
and some 12K for a Cobra trailer...

So for the cost of one F35 Lightning we could have about 1300 DGs.
End of training glider crisis. ;-)

It looks like DG is into the US taxpayer for 4655 euro per year in
maintenance fees alone...

You only have to pay the maintenance fees/get a maintenance contract
if you have a DG/LS glider that was build before the current owner(s)
took over DG and later LG after their respective bankruptcies. That
also means that if you buy a new glider from them as of right now you
are entitled to the usual stuff as with other glider manufacturers.
Not saying this is good or bad, just stating the facts with no
intentions of getting into that discussion again... :-)

Almost certainly the cheapest flying hardware they have. My take is
I'd rather have the air-force guys flying gliders than anything with
an engine in it.
