Before Herr Weber purchase DG they were going bankrupt, now they are not. Rolladen-Schneider went bankrupt, now you can buy a brand new LS-8 and the older LS are still supported. Whether you have a DG, LS or not, all glider pilots should be happy that Mr. Weber saved the work of two manufacturers from extinction, helps the sport in general. Now they have a very nice LS-1f to lend to a jr pilot. That too helps our sport.

By way of full disclosure, I do not own nor have ever owned a LS or DG glider.
