You are a really luck guys!
In many countries you have to pay importation tax and duties… To import my Ventus 2cM I paid ocean freight, container rental fee, insurance, and 30% as tax… A few years ago, I paid USD 2k jus to delivery a Cobra trailer to SZD in Poland, and 50% importation taxes... and the glider delay 3 months due a frozen port in Poland and more 60 due a port straick in Brazil... So, USD 120k for a glider or USD$ 150k for a motorglider ready to fly is a nice bargain! Sds. VoLo. Armando R. Pucci Ventus 2cM (AR) s/n# 115 Sao Paulo/Brazil |

We tend to get a bit USA centric from time to time. Thanks for the
reminder. We are now paying about USD 2.30 per gallon for regular gasoline here and it is killing us! I know it is more expensive in most other countries. The costs for my motor glider to ship from Slovenia to Cobra is ? 937.00 including insurance, ? 96.00 for handling charges and about $3300 to ship glider plus trailer from Europe to Los Angeles. In case the Euro symbol doesn't survive, the first two amounts are in Euros and the last is in USD. This seems fairly reasonable to me. You are right in that there are no taxes assessed in the US for the importation. Many States, however, will assess personal property and/or sales taxes. In most States these will rarely exceed $1200 or so, including the trailer registration. Lucky we are and thanks again for the reminder. Allan "Armando Pucci" wrote in message ...

Hi Al,
Don't complain too much about the price of fuel! We pay A$4.50 per gallon downunder. Maybe you should take the drive belt off the supercharger on the Ford!! :-) Cheers Mark |

Hey Mark,
I didn't see your original post so I'll respond to this one. Maybe they're blocking you folks from down under! The $2.50/gal is for regular. The trucks takes super at $2.89/gal. I'm not "whinging" about it but I'm not taking any 1000 mile trips in the truck either. Besides, I like the whine of the supercharger. When are you guys going to get the Katana into the air? Maybe I ought to come down and supervise. The Carat comes in mid July - hurrah! Cheers yourself (and apologies to this OT post to the group.)
