Maiden flight of the Arcus

wrote: Are they still? Yes. Typically "exotic" gliders tend to be sold in significant numbers outside Germany - but there are very, very few clubs in Europe who are replacing their aging ASK-13s with something different than an ASK-21. And, unlike the ASK-21, they spin like real gliders. .... which still is, inmy opinion, something that makes it unsuitable as a first solo gider.  We've had two season's of students now do their first solos in the DG1000's. I believe everyone is very happy and they are everything we hoped for. Great!
