We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!! Thank you Bruce, thank you. Yes that's right. According to http://www.usinflationcalculator.com a PW-5 in today's money would be $23,976. I'll repeat that a second time for clarification $23,976. And a third time for impact $23,976 I rest my case to all you naysayers who say a glider can't be produced at a reasonable cost! There it is. An ASW-19 WAS cutting edge on the production line, a PW-5 was NOT! "If" the PW-5 didn't look like a Volkswagen clown car, it would have revolutionized the sport. Perhaps someone should take a aesthetically pleasing 15 meter popular club class glider and replicate it using the same production quality of the PW-5 and sell them. Here's to hoping a second chance at the great intentions of the PW-5 to someone out there. If we had that, the hopes and dreams of a world class would be a reality, and soaring would be made great again. You seem to have missed the part where I said: "I suspect other factors such as the cost of living in Poland might be more relevant -- that looks to me more like a factor of 3.5 since the mid 90s, which would make a PW5 cost $52500 now." |
