Diana sailplanes also register their prototype there. Apparently polish authority is worst than Slovenia/Slovakia/Czech... [citation needed] All the Diana 2's (NG and original) I am aware of were registered in Poland as either type certified gliders or ultralights, and the prototype Diana 3 (formerly KKB-18) was built and registered in the Czech Republic. |

I found this photo of the GP-15 on GP Glider's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gpgliders/p...22297261160831 It clearly shows the glider's registration number, OM-M901. A search for that registration yielded this: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1253786 Obviously this is a totally different aircraft. Can anyone explain this discrepancy? Tom I queried the US dealer (Tom Holloran), and the factory replied OM-M901 was available when they needed a registration number, it was used for the glider while it was in Poland, and they deregistered the glider when it was shipped to the US, so the number is now available again. The US owner confirms he received a deregistration document, and the glider is now registered in the US. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 That number is not a Polish aircraft number - it is a Slovakian number which is assigned to another aircraft. The answer doesn't make sense. I should have said "while the factory owned the glider", rather than "when it was in Poland". I don't know who had the number before they did, or if anyone has it now. Their explanation seems credible enough to me. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |

That number is not a Polish aircraft number - it is a Slovakian number which is assigned to another aircraft. The answer doesn't make sense. Tom It's quite common in Europe to have aircraft and vehicles registered in another country where red tape and/or fees are less onerous; not to mention sea vessels. The world does not end in the US (where every state imposes its own drivers licenses, for example). This thread in the 'investigation' against the GP doesn't lead anywhere. |

Report's are showing the GP15 with "new wings" is now being flight tested against the Polish team Diana 2, RP. As I had always thought, they look nearly identical in flight. I hope they can get the glider into production and begin to make deliveries. I have been optimistic that the company would begin to focus and produce the glider rather than trying to do too many different models of gliders and a trailer too. I think the concept of a light 15m glider using modern materials and manufacturing is excellent, but they have to deliver. The experience with the first US delivered glider has not helped their reputation. |

They are on the company's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gpgliders Tom Holloran, the US GP dealer, told me the wings being tested are not the latest version that will be used in production, but the previous version without the latest winglet and root fairing designs. Flight testing is not complete, and there are currently no official reports. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |
