Thing is though, as far as I know, none have crashed or been repaired to evaluate for their crashworthiness or repairability VS. other models. Not true. Janusz Centka crashed one in Finland and he walked away from it without a scratch, he was just bruised up. The control surface play is certainly an issue. Someone should ask the factory about that. Is it correctable or not? Was it down to BB or is it fleet wide? D-2 was tested quite extensively in Poland by Aviation Institute and found no problem with that. In your discussions you forgetting that all gliders manufactured in Europe are made to EASA standard, not just the German gliders. The same regulations are applicable to D-2 as well as to V-2 or ASG-29. Jacek Pasco, WA Diana 2 was tested by two test pilots, past PZL-SZD test pilots. Testing was done in ideal conditions. Pilots who flown/own Diana 2 were few times in trouble during the flight when they lost control. Kawa lost control on RP during final glide and Ghostner was in spiral during the flight without chance to correct turning. At last he used highest forces but was ready to jump from it away. At last Kawa has trouble with blocked airbrakes in Chille and was lucky that it was before start line near arifield. About Diana 2 in desing and production faults know Polish Aviation Institute, Europan EASA and Australian CASA. It is reason why Diana 2 is without Certificate, flying on Polish registration only (two are in USA as Experimental Category). It is reason why the life time is limited to 12000 hours. So little correction not only for Jacek Kobiesa who is originaly Polish and proud of Polish products ![]() Cheers, Hana |
