FAA Revoking Standard Airworthiness Certificate DG-505

Hi Jack

Sorry to say, but nearly everything in your posting is wrong. Let me
explain:

1. The glider was built and sold by and paid to AMS. DG had just no
shares in that business. I only had allowed AMS to use our molds -
that's all!

2. As described below the customer was aware of the problems and
ordered one of our inspector to the US. We prepared everything, but
then he cancelled the journey.

3. We did not write any invoice to the (non-)customer. We did the
preperation as service. That is our policy.

4. Obviously the problems were caused by the FAA - that is completely
outside of our control.

5. The customer is aware that inspite of sending the glider to Germany
for an inspection we also can repeat the visit we had prepared some
years ago. We need to inspect the glider personally - then we are
allowed to issue the necessary paperwork. Although we did not sell the
glider, it is self-evident for us to offer our help, wherever it is
needed.

6. Jack, you definetely will know it already:
DG also had no shares in the business of the DG-300's with the spar
problem. These gliders were neither built nor sold by DG Flugzeugbau.
It is very simple to inform yourself and you should do it, before you
are writing such a nonsense!

I don't have much to add, I just wanted to quote this for posterity.
