ASW-28 and eta in WGC

I've noticed there are as many eta's in the WGC as
there are ASW-28's: two each.

I can understand why there might be 'only' two eta's,
but why so few 28's?

Any logical reason why the 28's aren't there in masses?
The majority of Standard Class ships are LS-8's, followed
by Discii.

Just curious,

Maybe only two ETAs have been produced so far? The second reason may be =
that competitors aren't going to make test flights instead of racing in =
a glider they know as well as theit own pocket.

Maybe the second reason mentioned in ETA's case applies there?

When compared to the LS-8 I think the reason is simply the number of =
produced gliders.

Janusz is right, there have been only two eta's built so far (#2 first
flew in April 2002). Unfortunately the project website

http://www.eta-aircraft.de/

doesn't feature a well updated english news section, but some nice pictures.
