Another problem is that, here in the US at least, the factory is a long

I heard a rumor that some guy is working hard at establishing a
"factory" for a sleek-looking glider right here in the US. ;-)

The facts so far: I have been amazed at how many "original" parts I
have been able to buy for my 30 year old glider (Schreder RS-15) from
this same guy! Keep it up, Bob.
