Re LS10 info
First thing, Bob, great work with HP24, interesting
watching the project, and with the experimental class well established in the US, makes a fair bit of sense. As I live in the UK somewhat academic! Pretty much most european single seater were some manufacturers top competeition gider of one generation or other. The problems are almost infinite product life and a much slower rate of performance increase. How many non competition pilots want or will use more performance than an LS8 18. At current rates of depreciation an LS 10 would have to be 35 years old to reach my price band, il probably be dead by then so why do i care how much they sell them for However, all is not lost, A number of companies are now relaunching previously certified gliders, 304CZ (std/15/18m class variants), LS4, LS6, even a few Jantar standard 3s, They are selling at a fraction of the price of the LS10, these are not cutting edge aircraft but a awful lot of pilots would be very happy to have this level of performance and tey are all perfectly plesant aircrat to fly. there are also a number of iteresting moulded ultralites on both sides of the atlantic since there is not a whole lot wrong with most 15 year old gliders what is the real problem? most glider pilots never have an never will own a new glider. I dont think the world is ending just yet |
