Look up reference in a dictionary, then come back and give us one.

Quite apart from that though Bill is absolutely right. The older
German manufacturers are being left behind by other companies across
the board. It's not suprising nor unusual that people try and rubbish
threats to their favourite brands.

Quite by chance I've found one myself:

"DISTURBING NEWS ABOUT THE DIANA 2 Czech Republic pilot, Hana Zejdova
who has set some 26 world records has just upgraded to a new Diana 2.
I have been informed that her sailplane has been grounded at Tocumwal,
Australia. At certain speeds, it pulls in one direction, and has to
be slowed down to straighten it up. The sailplane has other in-flight
problems requiring attention. Australians that have flown the
sailplane have been less than impressed with its handling qualities."

That's sufficiently different from what's been posted here for me to
be sure that it isn't simply based on this thread. So yes, it does
indeed look like that at least one Diana 2 has big problems.
