Are there any owners of DG-100 here who would be willing to discuss privately with me about what kind of pricing I should consider when bidding for used one? Kindly send me a private email if you do. Thanks


Just Wondering, what turned you off of the Pik? Was it the wet wings stories or the problem supporting major fiberglass repairs? I'm starting a similar search, so this thread has been very helpful.

If "major fiberglass repair" means that you need to borrow moulds from factory, I bet you are out of luck with any of these gliders. Price of these is so low that insurance companies won't pay for major repairs. Even broken tail resulting from ground loop can be more expensive to repair than insured hull value. And why repair when you can buy similar glider in one piece from used market? All these gliders mentioned have simple GRP structure, minor damage is easily repaired.
