Diana-2, VH-VHZ, English
http://www.segelflug.de/cgi-bin/wwwt...vc=1#Post68917 Many good things have been written and read about Diana-2.... but there is a Diana-2 with serial number 3 and the call-sign VH-VHZ http://www.sportaviation.com.au/C01_S%20copy.jpg which unfortunately stranded in Australia. The manufacturer is proud that they delivered a plane to the multiple world record pilot. http://records.fai.org/pilot.asp?id=1320&from=gliding http://www.beres.com.pl/index.php?op...d=8&Itemid =1 http://www.beres.com.pl/polish/index...=32&Itemi d=1 But unfortunately the plane which arrived in Tocumwal (Australia) limped and never raced. It even did not receive the Australian airworthiness. http://www.glidingmagazine.com/NewsArticle.asp?id=1605 This plane really must have been born sick. Even the wheel broke off the tail dolly. But at least that was repairable. Many emails were sent to the manufacturer from December 2006 on to solve the various problems, but the factory stayed silent: no sign of cooperation or customer care. The same pilot had flown several world records with Diana-1. I wished I could fly as good. VH-VHZ only did test flights in Tocumwal - no cross country flights - no records - frustration only for everybody involved. After his flight with Diana-2 World Champion Ingo Renner commented: The potential of this glider cannot be achieved, due to its bad handling problems at the moment. Still the manufacturer seems to be uncooperative and a negative comment in the online guestbook of the manufacturer about the event was deleted a day later. It is unsure if this craw ever will morph into an eagle. Obviously the manufacturer tries to cover up the whole story about the existence of a Diana-2 with malicious flight characteristics. Six month have now passed without any help for the customer to solve the problems. That's why the grace period of public silence has run out. Chris |
