A more resonable priced option is the new Apis E.

I'll be flying it in about two weeks in Slovenia.

How much? -

Duncan,

In the low to mid $60,000. Depending on the exchange rate.
It is 15 meter span.

Cheers Robert - so confirming $60K Euro or thereabouts?

Duncan,

The price being put forth is 50,600 euro, Today that is $61,600.
However the price is subject to change oncec they get a firm handle on
production costs. I truly hope it goes no higher.

Nice plug Robert :-)

Reasonably priced -- it depends on what you're after, right? An openclass
performing sailplane with all the newest in aerodynamics, crash safety,
ergonomics, energy for 3000m climb, or an ultralight sailplane.

The Antares costs 130k euros, not 200k USD as implied somewhere else here in
the thread, by the way. Considering what you get for this, this IS
reasonably priced.

How is the ventilation? From the photos, it appears it lacks the
eyeball vent now on all SH's and AS's. And how long does it take to rig
with those extra-heavy wings?

130k euros is $160,000. Add all the extras, and you are close to
$200,000.

I see in the latest Aerokurier that there will be an an 18m version
(both unpowered and sustainer), though there is no mention of this on
the Antares website.

Does anyone know if the company has any plans to make an effort to sell
in the USA?

I'll sell you my spot on the waiting list.

Luka,

thanks it looks very interesting indeed.

I have a question for the UK glider community. What
qualification do you need to fly it in UK? Its a Self
launching Ultralight.....

a. From the starting point of a UK Silver C pilot
(and holding an international glider pilot's licence).

b. Would a German PPL 'G' for and Ultralight (Icarus
C42) powered aircraft help. I am about to take a
course of 10 lessons to get a German PPL'G' (Flying
in Belgium but with a German club.
