Hi.

I just bought an ELAN with winglets, well equiped (lx5000, flarm, etc)
with a Komet trailer. I also had a look at the main spar problem, but
a change of 270 to 250kph max speed and 200 to 175kph in turbulence is
also not a serious problem for me. There is also a reduction in the
max weight from 525 to 450kg, meaning less ballast.

I managed to do a couple decent flights with it, and i love it. It's
easy to fly but performs very well. I'm used to flying Pegase and
there is quite a big difference. I love the view from the cockpit
thanks to the big canopy.

I'm not really into the works of the glider market, but comparing with
other gliders out there, i found it a good deal.

I am not selling a DG300, actually thinking of buying one, but I would
like to ask opinions.
After discovery the famous main spar problem and restrictions is it a
save investment a DG300 ? As I can see the average DG300 price level
went down with approx. 5000 EUR and now is approacning my wallet size.
Do we expect more or the current price level already steady donw ? As
I can remenber one year ago a DG300 complete package from 1985-1990
with trailer was around 27-30000 EUR depending on instruments. Now
this is between 25-28000 EUR.
The operation limitations (not speaking about the Acro version) are
not serious, I could live with that.
