Default Shock! Hana's Diana 2 in service

It's a shame that the reputation of the Diana-2 and its makers have
been blackmailed to repair something for free that they are not
responsible for.

I wonder how many sales this has cost them. The sailplane is without a
doubt the highest performing 15 Meter ever built and the contest
placements at the very least seem to support this contention.

Just this summer the Diana-2 placed 1st and 2nd at the European
Championships, after winning the Grand Prix and the Worlds........At
the previous European Championships, the Diana-2 placed 2nd.

Too bad the reputation has been needlessly sullied. I wonder how
stupid some people can be to let a ham handed mechanic fiddle like
that with a brand new aircraft.
