Do you think that DG really wants competition from a low wage, low health
and safety, low production cost country offering a product in competition to
its current range?

I don't think so!

I think you have it perfectly right. One could produce the LS4, say for
example in India, with perfect quality and ridiculous price. But this would
kill the market for expensive new gliders and even used ones, so nobody wants
to engage this way. This being said, yes, it is clear that the LS4 would be
the best choice for a monoclass, since it is very easy to fly, hence would
be perfect for beginners, and still has good performance.
