If PW-5 owners are really as content as they claim to be, why are they
so touchy and defensive?

I think it's pretty obvious that they are in denial. They invested in
these machines thinking that the world class would take off, and
instead it flopped, and they are stuck with these expensive fiberglass
lawn ornanments, and that reality is just too disturbing for them to
come to terms with. So they attack the messengers instead.

It is a mistake to imagine the postings here come from PW5 owners in
general. Ironically, some (most?) of the defense of the class and glider
comes from pilots that don't even fly them, such as myself (I fly an 18
m motorglider).

I'm sure most of the PW5 owners are elsewhere, enjoying discussing the
gliders and World Class with people that believe in it. They aren't
here, because they've learned that it is a fool's errand to attempt
discussions with people that call their glider "rubbish". If people
called your glider that, you'd probably be a bit touchy, too. It makes
me irritable, and I don't even own one.

If you want to know what PW5 owners are doing, you'll have to go to
where they are.
