 These were the authentic words of my wife on a beautiful summers day in May 1996, as we were out for dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Wolff. And of course these words have a history, which I will use, to introduce myself as the managing director of DG-Flugzeugbau in Bruchsal, to you, the readers of the Homepage of DG Flugzeugbau.
For more than 6 years now I love to fly my DG-400 as often as possible. The DG-400 is particularly sym-pathetic to me, because this sailplane allows me to enjoy the beauty of gliding without stress and no risk when landing outside the gliding field. I find great joy and pleasure in this sport, even without trying to reach for competition honors or any need to find my name high up in a ranking list.
Step by step the wish grew on me, to acquire the newest and most beautiful offered sailplane on the market in this category, and to my personal judgment this could only be a DG-800B. This led to a visit in Bruchsal, to negotiations and to a contract, where I noticed, that the sales manager obviously was in no hurry to fill out a confirmation order. The whole situation gave me reason to disbelief, if this company can make it much longer?
On a gliding vacation at the beginning of March 96 in Vinon, southern France, the news of the company's crash reached me, and as I did not fancy any of the competitive products, it became clear to me, that I had to go on flying my DG-400 for many more years.
This did not hamper me to mention all my sorrow at the above mentioned dinner to my tax consultant, Mister Gerhard Wolff , who succinctly stated: "There is a very simple solution to the problem. Just buy the whole company!" You know the startled answer of my wife already.
