Germany has a very easy-going legislation regarding registration and
maintainance of gliders. It's better than France's, and much, much
better than the one in Italy.

Almost everybody in Italy is therefore registering their gliders in
Germany, or even more, many already registered take the burden to
cancel the glider from Italy and sign it over to Germany..

The guy I finished the glider sport pilot
privilege for is going to Germany for a year.
I told him he is going to have a
FANTASTIC time there gliding...

Yes, this was great info. I hope Schemp Hirth
puts in a design for the next
World Class...it looks like it might
be well sold...

The main countries buying new gliders in 2004 we
Germany 139

Australia 7
France 7
Canada 4
Japan 4

All these figures are only approximate but should be

a good few hours to
