A-I-R will unveil a new Atos light at the Thermikmesse near
Stuttgart in December. The new glider is a version of the classic Atos (C/V)
with a lighter set of spars, for which the penalty is a VNE in rough air of
90km/h. Empty weight is said to be 28-29 kg (64 lbs.). The idea is to have
flexie empty weights, and if you buy from VLD in France, a flexie price.

I wonder what a flexie price in Europe is these days. I wonder
what has changed about the construction of the d-cells. If you know, tell us.
