Good to hear that Diamond is working on fixing dollar pricing. However, this is no rocket science, and any prospective owner could talk to his bank about securing a future currency swap position. Now, North American friends, no regrets please if you do that and if it later turns out that you would have been better off without such hedging! Nobody knows, but I would not be surprised if Europe stays in limbo for a while and the US leads the world out recession again. And Republicans and Democrats alike have a very clear incentive to avoid a fiscal cliff. I don't buy the theory that the Republicans just want Obama to fail, damn the consequences. Not this early in his second term anyway..GLDAS wrote:
We're trying to get aircraft over here and to come up with a mechanism to fix dollar pricing. Sadly, we just missed OSH for a launch, and there were no available planes to display anyway. Stay tuned...when we have something that north american customers can fly, you'll know!

Sorry, I am drifting the thread here! Let me put it back on track by saying that a friend of mine is happy as a bluebird with his VI. Speeds are as per POH, so pretty impressive when high and at max continuous power!
