Ray, my take on this is DG having plenty of open capacity for modifications of the older LS gliders. Due to the horrendous reaction on them demanding service contracts, sales of new DG and LS gliders must have plummeted. Oh the marketing geniuses at work, lead by Friedel Weber and his minions. Anyone knows how the business is doing?

Only pre 1996 gliders are affected by service cotracts. I don't see how that impacts new glider sales at all.

I've seen the Dillinger tips for LS8. They look like other modern winglets now. Very nice!
The LS1f is a great Club Class glider. Since the class is handicapped, what will the Dillinger mod do to that? A nicer looking glider that performs better and has a handicap to suit?
With the World Class glider, I believe you weren't even allowed to tape over the horrific hole in the elevator. Add winglets? Not likely.
Agree with Herb. Unfortunately Herr Weber damaged the brand loyalty they picked up Rolladen-Schneider for.
