Good news -- but you could buy a PW-6U two-seater for 41,200 Euro and
have the pleasure of flying friends, eh? Talking about the LS-4b: It's back in production (by Walter Eisele, a well-known german glider pilot), now called LS-4/2005. Price is 39.400 Euro, complete with retractable gear and water bags. Winglets are optional. Lots of bang for the buck if you ask me. Bye Andreas |

"Herbert Kilian" wrote in message om... Glider exports to Europe will have to deal with the airworthiness issue. There is no "Experimental" category in Europe like the 'Racing and Exhibition' niche that so many of us - including me - have registered their gliders in. That may be the reason why I've never come across a US made glider during my time in Germany I don't think that is the *only* reason you don't see US gliders in Europe, but airworthiness should not be an issue for the Peregrine; it already has both US and JAR-22 certification. Vaughn come to think of it. Bureaucracy is still king, particularly in Germany. Here in the good 'ole USA also! Vaughn Herb, J7 |

or if you add winglets to the LS4 you would be only a few euro short of
buying a new LS8a. "Charles Yeates" wrote in message ... Good news -- but you could buy a PW-6U two-seater for 41,200 Euro and have the pleasure of flying friends, eh?

"Janusz Kesik" wrote in message ... If the Czechs and Poles can't match German build quality Well... I would doubt that, but I am used to that stereotypes and urban legends are very hard to remove over just fifteen years since we left socialism. Regards, -- Janusz Kesik Poland Well, there is a Duo in my neighborhood that I'd classify as an embarrassment to the manufacturer, and it's only about two years old. Before it could fly, it had to be inspected. Now there are numerous 'dimples' along the wings. I suppose this is simply post-curing. Odd the older German built sample down the road doesn't show the same 'quality'. It sure isn't a stereotype, neither is it Polish. Perhaps this golfball effect is a secret improvement.

It sure isn't a stereotype, neither is it Polish. Perhaps this golfball effect is a secret improvement. If I have understood You correctly, this particular Duo has been produced in the Czech Republic (since it's not German built airframe). This may come from a little thing that Czechs have almost no experience in building glassfibre/carbon gliders. They have mostly built metal Blaniks, but no glass. Opposite to that, people employed at building gliders in Poland have often even 30 years of experience and surely can be considered as experts in their profession. Just ask the users from the British clubs who repaired the gliders in our workshops (including the reprofling the 'aging' LS-8s at http://www.refinish.biz). These guys are just perfect, but their work is affordable at the same time. Being at Your place, instead of mumbling about the worse quality, I would start to think about how your company could benefit from cooperating with the new EU members.
