We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000
Again, no one on here will discuss these questions:
How much was a PW-5 brand new? What would that be worth in today's dollars with inflation? The answer alone removes all doubt that affordable sailplanes CAN be made! |

You are barking up the wrong tree. |

If this is so incredibly important to you, why wouldn't you just do the research yourself. The data is there in the SSA Magazine archive. In today's dollars, the answer is "nowhere near $25,000". What's more telling is that the manufacturing of the PW-5 stopped and started at least twice under different ownership, going out of business each time. And, nobody took up the "offer" of license manufacturing which was part of the deal in the first place.

For a laugh go read the University of Tennessee marketing study on the PW-5 in Soaring magazine December 1995 page 8. |

We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000
Well, let's just say that the ASW-19, brand new in 1975 cost $25,000,
though I'm sure it was a bit more. Adjusting for inflation, that's $116,296.72 in today's dollars ($30K inflates to $139,556.07). Guess that sucks the wind out of your sails, huh, Wilbur? A similar lookup could just as easily be done for the first production year of the PW-5. On 3/20/2017 11:36 AM, wrote: How and why, was the PW-5 made for so cheap? Nobody can answer this because it proves you are wrong! Basic sailplanes do not cost a fortune to build. There is a market for entry level gliders with a handicap of 1.00 for a reasonable price. Few pilots want to own a 40-50 year old fiberglass sailplane. How much did an ASW-19 cost brand new in 1975? -- Dan, 5J |

We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000
Since someone said the price was $19,500, that's $88,294.77 in today's
dollars. Still a bunch. For that money you could get at least a used ASW-27 so why rebuild a '19?

Read Andy Blackburn's post! He presented it in terms even someone with more dreams and desire than economics education should be able to understand. Not intending to be flippant.
