Whatever happened with the LS-10?

Hey Briand....

Just wondering what motivated you to take the letter from the factory I posted a few entries above and take it out of context, eliminate the source/signature and then redundantly re-post it???

Hi J4,
I didn't see your post or read the whole thread inc the factory letter. My post simply reflects my happy experience with the LS10, that's it! Today was the first time I've viewed this blog. Rgds

From where I sit, Jonkers appears to have provided a masterclass in how to do that. They created a non-aviation income source to fund expansion, formed partnerships with a university and a symbiotic business (M&D), kept their production increases incremental & considered (within their abilities and maintaining a healthy order book). They're presently working on a second model. I'd suggest it to be rather unfair to mention them in the same sentence as Lange.

One also needs to take the economic circumstances and wages into account.
The South African currency is quite weak so converting Euros or Dollars to Rands is very favourable for a South African manufacturer.
Couple that with much cheaper labour compared to Germany and there is more margin to play with.

Wrong Mr. Surge!
JS quotes prices exclusively in Euro and the amounts are near identical to the top German models. No savings from "cheap labor".
