Thanks Bill Liscomb,
then you must have N562BL.
I later found pictures of your plane and ZJ of Jerzy Zierba and they look
the same
as VH-VHZ. Then the in flight problems must be caused by something else.
The manufacturer knew that Hana Zejdova weighs only 55kg with parachute
and the plane was promised to be delivered with the CG adjusted to this
condition.
Here some pictures of the airbrake problems in Tocumwal Australia:
locked airbrakes at the plane delivery. Manufacturer said to have solved the
problem the same day

but see these pics after the planes arrival in Australia

these problems would never have gone public if the manufacturer would have
supported the pilot with information in Australia while they reported the
problems.
Many emails had been written to the manufacturer before Christmas 2006 and
produced no answer. These emails were written before an actions were taken
and before anything was changed on the plane but the Diana factory did not
answer.
We even sent the manufacturer a Russian translation of the problems - no
answer.

Why did this manufacturer not give support for a multiple world record
holder, who
flew several world records with Diana-1? This is not understandable.
What would you think would happen if Karl (KS) would get a new plane to fly
a US
national competition and he reports problems with the plane. But the
manufacturer
does not support him until the comp is over. Do you think that would be
reasonable?
Do you think that would never go public?
I slowly begin to understand an earlier discussion, which still is reported
under
http://www.neshe.com. You cannot just ignore customer care.
At least it is good news to hear that you obviously have no problems with
your Diana-2.
with kind regards
Chris

The pictures I saw in the links show the prototype and #3. Before I
paid for #002 I knew the wing would be re-located. I have pictures of
my glider and the wing appears to be in the same place as #3. Jerry
Zieba has #001 and it is exactly the same as mine. I have seen his
glider in person. How many of you have actually seen a Diana 2 in
person? I do not have a web site to post the pictures of my glider
on, but would be happy to send them to someone who can. As I stated
in my previous post, being an experienced Diana 2 pilot, and familiar
with the glider and it's systems, in my opinoin, the problems with
#003 are in the adjustment of linkages....
