Antares is in production and Lange Flugzeugbau has plenty of orders. The
glider is definetely not cheap, but the prices are less frightening
that what Stefan indicates and not too far off from other 18 m
selflaunchers Should be in the range of 130-140 k Euro.

They have been too busy to update their website frequently, but try to
contact them if you are interested.

production.


It is not close to production, but they have been delivering since about
a year. The ship costs something in the range of $ 250 k. Somebody who
flew the Antares commented like this: "You can describe the glider in
two sentences: 1) It's far too expensive. 2) It's worth every penny."
