Why are so many Stemme S10-VT motorgliders for sale?

There appear to be a number of Stemme S10-VT motorgliders for sale. Are these people already upgrading to the Antares? ;-) The Stemme is a very special aircraft - it can tour great distances at high speed, with a friend and maybe even a toothbrush. It has good performance as a glider. It is complicated to do all these things... The Antares is a very different machine for a different use. It has extremely high performance, but only one seat. Not for touring under power, though more than enough capacity for launching and reserve (I've never had mine below 65% capacity). I rig and derig my Antares quickly by myself, the Stemme needs a Hangar. The Antares is more agile than some 15-meter ships, the Stemme is a bit, um, deliberate about changing direction. So it wouldn't be an upgrade so much as a change for a different kind of flying ! Best Regards, Dave "YO" |
