Doing the math for you via the FAA database:

Number of registered Pw-5s - 71
Combined number of DuoD and DGs1000 - 47

Similar ratio in New Zealand: 9 Duo Discus and 3 DG 1000 vs 17 PW5s.


Not to mention that most Duo and DGs in US are used by money hungry
FBOs and are in-accessible for club folks.

All the DG1000's in NZ are now in clubs (2 Wellington, 1 Fielding), and
I think 2 of the Duos.

Southern Soaring had a brand new DG-1000 at Omarama in 2003. Is it still
there?
