Default DG "service contract" revisited

Random comments to the above messages:

With Photo Shop, I can copy a page and insert my serial number.

Most folks I've talked to, regard Experimental as better than Standard as it
allows us to do a lot more things with our aircraft. I don't think it has
any effect on value, besides, these things are NOT an investment, they're
expensive toys.

I really wanted another (3rd) LS-6, but this crap convinced me to move on.
I'm now enjoying my LAK-17a...

Screw DG and all their horses.

DG has another distasteful business practice that isn't well known,
yet. If you sign up for the service contract, they will automatically
(without even asking you in advance) charge your credit card for
subsequent years. Guess how I know?

Finally, someone is taking legal action against DG Flugzeugbau.


Those who understand German can follow the Nordrhein-Westfalen chapter

the German Aeroclub

On a related note, the EASA continues to sabotage DG's effort to force
us to
sign contracts, in order to obtain new manuals. The updated Type
Certificate
Data Sheets for LS gliders clearly state that you can use the old OR the
new
(May 2011) manuals.

Also, DG tries to force you to pay for the contract in all the years
from
2009 if you need a service in, say, 2016. Apart from being extremely
questionable from a legal standpoint, this raises the question: Why
should
anyone pay for a yearly contract with DG at all, then? It is much better
to
put an equivalent sum into your own savings account, so you are able to
pay
ransom money if ever needed. Meanwhile, the interest you earn on your
own
money may buy you a Flarm, or enable you to take the wife / girlfriend
(or
both) out for an evening in town.


Happy soaring,

DG gives you 3 days to refuse to pay then it charge you automatically.
This is illegal in Canada.
