Steve, this all came out about ten days ago. Last weekend at the field
there was quite a bit of chatter about it, and I had to answer a lot
of questions about how I was planning on dealing with my 303. And the
answer is, I'm so happy with the glider I just don't really care.
Andreas is correct, this will not affect me until I decide to sell it,
and that is some years down the line. The focus in this thread is on
how to fix the problem; my interest is on how to test at the lowest
cost. Let's say 50% of the gliders are affected, that means that the
cost to fix half the gliders is exactly nothing. While the testing
process is being worked out I'll be flying, and having fun.

As it happens, I have the last plane (DG303 # 486) ever made by ELAN,
and the 27th ACRO. It will be interesting to look back on this in a
year or two.
