To all Grob glider owners, operators, and maintainers,

After more than 24 years of service to the aviation
community, the
Aircraft Division of Grob Systems, Inc. in Bluffton,
Ohio is ceasing
operations. While the new owners of Grob Aerospace
in Germany have
expressed a commitment to continue supporting the
entire line of Grob
aircraft, they have unfortunately decided they no
longer desire a
fixed presence in the U.S. You may contact Grob Aerospace
in Germany
for your future parts and technical assistance requirements.

I have compiled a list of my remaining glider inventory
and have
priced most items at or below cost. If you would
like to receive a
copy of this list, please send me an email to
.

My long-time associate, George Stechschulte, and I
greatly appreciate
all that the Grob Company has done for us and leave
here with a
wealth
of wonderful friends and experiences. Our thanks
go out to all in
the
aviation community for the opportunity to serve you.

Sincerely,

Michael Shade

1070 Navaho Drive,
Bluffton, OH 45827
