Charles:

I believe that most of the CS's were built by Orlican in Chocen, CZ.
Some of the later ones were built by Schempp-Hirth, Vyr.Let.S.R.

In the recent post, there is a reference to a "Chechnia factory". For
clarity's sake, and nothing else, I think the writer meant the Czech Republic.
Correct me if I am wrong, I have been know to goof before.

Cheers, Charles

There is a company using the Discus BM Wing for a very new design
called the Carat (Motor Glider). It is manufactured by a company in
Slovania called AMS Technoflug and uses a front enging with forward
folding propeller. I assume that they are manufacturing the (Discus
BM) wing design in Slovania. I understand that they are known for very
high quality work... they build many of the DG Gliders.

Schempp-Hirth, Vyr.Let (Vyroba Letadel means Airplane factory) is the
new name of Orlican

Cheers
