The way I read the article.. pay the fee and get support.
Don't pay... no support. Need a part.. pay the fee, plus parts cost.. get
the part.. Pay the fee, get the life extension inspection details for 1/2
cost.
It will be interesting to see how the FAA views this, the Euro "feds"
require current manuals.. and updates.
granted our manuals must be current too, all ADs are downloadable from the
FAA web sites.
But to pay a fee to the builder company just for the privilege to fly
another year... ??
There are a lot of Schweizers out there for us recreational flyers..

Hi
I have been a DG, LS owner for 20 years. Mr Weber created this monster
13 years ago by encouraging us to use is facility. I have never
needed DG services to keep my aircraft airworthy. Last month I needed
information on L'Hotellier connection for my LS 6. I sent a email to
DG and voilą, 24 hours later I had all I needed without effort. I
have done this many time and DG personnel always encourage me to do so
by saying "you are very welcome". Now Mr Weber is creating another
monster with is taxes. I am not a business person but creating an
artificial need to extract money from potential customer is not a
smart move. I will have another sailplne, 18 meter. It will not be a
DG product!
Regards.
