US Dollar sinks to new low against Euro

What has happened to the U.S. Stock market since Bush's reelection??
Not mine Bubba.

Good news -- but you could buy a PW-6U two-seater for 41,200 Euro and
have the pleasure of flying friends, eh?

Talking about the LS-4b: It's back in production (by Walter Eisele, a
well-known german glider pilot), now called LS-4/2005.

Price is 39.400 Euro, complete with retractable gear and water bags.
Winglets are optional.

Lots of bang for the buck if you ask me.

Glider exports to Europe will have to deal with the airworthiness
issue. There is no "Experimental" category in Europe like the 'Racing
and Exhibition' niche that so many of us - including me - have
registered their gliders in. That may be the reason why I've never
come across a US made glider during my time in Germany

I don't think that is the *only* reason you don't see US gliders in Europe,
but airworthiness should not be an issue for the Peregrine; it already has both
US and JAR-22 certification.

come to think
of it. Bureaucracy is still king, particularly in Germany.

Here in the good 'ole USA also!

Herb, J7

or if you add winglets to the LS4 you would be only a few euro short of
buying a new LS8a.

Actually, HAL has had a nice upward trend for the last
6 months...no surprise there I suppose

Going back to German quality, vs that of Polish, Czech, etc... Not only are
some DGs built in Slovenia (and sold as German), but also sales of German cars
have dropped, particularly VW...because of QC problems. It is a myth that East
Europeans build shlock. It did not take that long for Japanese manufacturers
to improve the quality of their products (remember Alan Sherman?), nor for the
Chinese. So why not East Europeans?

After all, if the market is in the West -- Europe or Americas --, manufacturers
have to deliver a good product in line with its price.

Cheers anyway, Charles

Isn't the same forum where problems with Asw-27's wing waviness and
smoothing costs where published? And speaking of quality of German
cars look at the J.D. Power's association results- the only brand that
stands above the average in quality is BMW, yet still falls way short
of major Japanese brands.

What is it, still down 20% since Bush "won" the 2000 election?

If the Czechs and Poles can't match German build quality

Well... I would doubt that, but I am used to that stereotypes and urban
legends are very hard to remove over just fifteen years since we left
socialism.

Well, there is a Duo in my neighborhood that I'd classify as an
embarrassment to the manufacturer, and it's only about two years old.
Before it could fly, it had to be inspected. Now there are numerous
'dimples' along the wings. I suppose this is simply post-curing. Odd the
older German built sample down the road doesn't show the same 'quality'. It
sure isn't a stereotype, neither is it Polish. Perhaps this golfball effect
is a secret improvement.

Same thing as the national debt-gone up.

If I have understood You correctly, this particular Duo has been produced in
the Czech Republic (since it's not German built airframe). This may come
from a little thing that Czechs have almost no experience in building
glassfibre/carbon gliders. They have mostly built metal Blaniks, but no
glass. Opposite to that, people employed at building gliders in Poland have
often even 30 years of experience and surely can be considered as experts in
their profession. Just ask the users from the British clubs who repaired the
gliders in our workshops (including the reprofling the 'aging' LS-8s at
http://www.refinish.biz). These guys are just perfect, but their work is
affordable at the same time. Being at Your place, instead of mumbling about
the worse quality, I would start to think about how your company could
benefit from cooperating with the new EU members.
