Why are so many Stemme S10-VT motorgliders for sale?
In rebuttal to Post#4 (Mal): The S10-VT's high L/D,
low minimum sink rate, and jettison-able canopy for bail-out make it one of the safest and most capable light aircraft available. I've never felt safer flying in any other aircraft. Posting a 2002 incident (whose cause was identified and corrected), coupled with a 2006 incident (the cause of which is not stated/unknown) is unfair. I would remind Mal that the majority of aircraft crashes are caused by pilot error, not aircraft problems. I can't really speak to the reason why more may be on the market at any given time .... LSA may be a factor, or perhaps sellers are considering purchasing the new S6. I have yet to meet a dissatisfied S10-VT pilot .... quite the contrary! |
