We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000
Well, let's just say that the ASW-19, brand new in 1975 cost $25,000,
though I'm sure it was a bit more. Adjusting for inflation, that's $116,296.72 in today's dollars ($30K inflates to $139,556.07). Guess that sucks the wind out of your sails, huh, Wilbur? A similar lookup could just as easily be done for the first production year of the PW-5. On 3/20/2017 11:36 AM, wrote: How and why, was the PW-5 made for so cheap? Nobody can answer this because it proves you are wrong! Basic sailplanes do not cost a fortune to build. There is a market for entry level gliders with a handicap of 1.00 for a reasonable price. Few pilots want to own a 40-50 year old fiberglass sailplane. How much did an ASW-19 cost brand new in 1975? -- Dan, 5J
