Well on the positive side I know of several Antares 20E
owners
who have a good relationship with Lange Aviation, me
included. I was at the factory in December; all the staff I
met
were very helpful indeed.

I have no information on this latest dispute but I am not
sure
the last post Peter Scholz clarifies anything. Anyone who
has
run a business knows that the customers can be a
problem; do
any glider manufacturers have a 100% happy customer
base?
Doubtless when the latest dispute is resolved the facts
will
become clear, until that time some restraint might be in
order?

David, have you read the article?

Andrzej: I did say that I "have no information on this latest
dispute"; so the answer is "No" I have not read the article
but I would like to read it; I cannot find it on the web, do
you have a link to the article?

I spent a lot of time thinking about buying Antares after seeing Dave climb significantly better in his Antares (20E with 18 m tips) than my ASG-29 in a very turbulent and weak thermal. I really like the Antares glider. It seems everything is done right in the glider. Saying all that when time came to order a new glider Antares was not my choice and it was not because of performance or cost.
I hope something changes with Lange. There are some commonality between Diana and Antares designers. They both could be much better at customer relations. I sent you a PM.
