That $19,500 is not in today's dollars, so the figure is not as
meaningful. Wasn't the ASW-19 a contemporary of the LS-4, a better
performing glider. And didn't they try to produce the LS-4, as a club
class glider with both fixed gear or with retractable gear after LS
went BK? That project failed with a more popular glider than the
ASW-19. As pointed out the HPH 304 is along the line of this thread
but none have been ordered since 2014.


Non have been ordered in the USA, or none world-wide?


Does the HPH 304 S|SJ|E Shark count? If so, then they are selling. A
304SJ arrived on our club field in the UK last year and another two are
due this year of which, IIRC, one is an E (FES) version.
