Fortunately, the factory price of a PW-6, instrumented in both cockpits is
US 60,000 today -- trailer extra

I doubt there is market enough for 100-200 new two seat gliders at
$100,000 -$150,000 each today and that's likely what would be needed for
anyone to be successful with a new design.


I know Charles is the North American dealer and he's pushing his product but
this is a really great deal. I've flown his PW-6 and it' s a sweet, very
well built trainer. If anything, Charles is understating the PW-6's
qualities. It deserves to be on everybodys short list for a new trainer.

The only concern I have is that the low mounted tailplane has elevator
balance horns with a small gap between the stabilizer and horn. If you
operate from a trashy, littered airfield there is a tiny chance FOD could
get jammed in that gap. On any respectable airfield, that should never be a
concern.

Disclaimer: I have no financial connection.
