A Kid Flying a Duckhawk?

As someone from outside the USA I could not care less whether it is from

there, Europe or Africa. If it is a better aircraft then I am interested,

IF certified.

I hope to see one in Poland this year, pity we couldn't see it in Uvalde.

An 18M version will sell more overseas than 15M. From what I have seen

sales do not seem to be big on the builders agenda?

PS: unlike some views, mine is that it came second in it's first comp, a

Canadian in an ASG29 won! (Regardless of the hype)

Kudos to the designers and builders!



Bit off topic here but is it less expensive then European gliders?

Anyone

know current cost of Ventus 2 or ASG 29 (in 15 meter config) or other 15

meter gliders? We all understand the fluctuations in the euro but am

curious.

Bear in mind that Chip Garner flew that glider having flown it only once prior... I think that's rather impressive he did as well as he did in it with so little experience.
