Come on, this sort of argument covers vacuum.

How long did it take for Centrair till their ASW-20 copies had similar
quality than the Schleicher originals?
Ten years?

Centrair is far from being an example of quality and efficiency. Nevertheless
their Pegase were good enough for my taste. I have never flewn a German ASW20
but i have flown several ASW19 and i don't see anything in them obviously
better than in the Pegase for example - an understatement. Yes i maintain that
the so-called high quality of such or such product is mainly commercial
bull**** which covers nothing real.
