Default Flight test of Diana-2

I've only seen the original Diana in the flesh, and the Diana-2 in Sharma's
pictures. From a mechanical and esthetical perspective, the Diana-2 looks to
be inovative and nicely done. At first blush, it appears they have not cut
corners in their design, but rather have made those decisions based on, "how
can we do this best".

Alexander's recent response seemed reasonable, as did Sharma's initial
indignation. The whole incident smacks of misunderstanding, lack of
communication, emotional overreaction, not wanting to hurt another's
feelings, and maybe personality conflict. I'd suggest we call it mutual
combat and drop the whole thing.

If I were interested in the Diana-2, I'd not let any of these posts dissuade
me.


If I were to avoid a manufacturer because I knew a very unhappy customer
of theirs (potential or otherwise), I would not be able to buy a glider
from any of the German manufacturers, and some of the other companies,
either. As bumper points out, it happens for various reasons, even when
both parties seem like reasonable people.
