Correction re glider prices in France
http://www.ulteam-vol-libre.com/ulteam-ailes-Moyes-vol-libre.htm
Moyes RS - 7500 TTC or $11,550. (I assume that this includes the VAT, $9665 without VAT at 19.5%.)

Airborne C4 - 7500 TTC or $11,550.
http://www.ulteam-vol-libre.com/ulteam-ailes-icaro-2000-vol-libre.htm
Icaro Z9 - 7280 TTC (This is the same price for the "basic" Z9 as on the Icaro web site, including VAT.)

Aeros Combat L - 6390 TTC ($8196 without VAT)
No word about the options if any included in these prices, but I assume that these are all for the basic model. Notice how different they are from US prices, where the Z9 is much more expensive than the gliders from Australia and the Ukraine. Combats are popular with the French national team as are Litespeeds.
The US price for the basic Aeros Combat L is $7101. The Moyes RS, $6995. The Airborne C4, $7288.
Again, tell me why the Euro is worth so much? It sure isn't in term of Moyes RS gliders. Here is it worth about $1.11, not $1.54. In terms of Aeros gliders, it is $1.33.
Steve Uzochukwu <<email>> in addition to telling me the French VAT rate writes:
UK=Avian; France=La Mouette/Helite, Tecma; Germany=Guggenmoss, Bautek, AIR; Austria=Seedwings Europe; Italy=Icaro 2000; Ukraine=Aeros.
