Within this process we have made several improvements again:

2. Our new Forum for Technical Questions
The new forum already is working well for German customers.
But there are not so many questions in English.
Why is that so?
http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1363
3. Manuals for the NOAH-System of DG single seaters updated
If you own a NOAH-System, please download the new manuals - especially
the drafts:
http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/handbuecher-e.html
4. Part Numbers of the most common Spare Parts - for better ordering
It is a small quantity of spare parts only, which are most often
ordered.
So we made special lists for each type of glider with a precise
description of the parts and the part numbers.
That will help you and us to avoid ordering mistakes:

This is a special "Jubilee" too - the 100th regular
issue of our newsletters within a period of more than 8 years.
The newsletters are coming out in two languages to about 8.000
addresses and perhaps my personal English capabilities may have
improved a little during these years, so at least you can understand
what I like to express :-).
Let's go on informing pilots in the world what is going on in
Bruchsal!
This newsletter is a little bit late because of our skiing vacation. I
am in a nice Switzerland valley without any communication and have to
look for a hotel lobby with a WLAN for public use.
2. 2006 ? How did things go for us?
It was a very hard job the establish a more or less "new" glider
company. But now we can see some good results:
http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/flugzeuge-e.html#2006
3. A new Brochure of the DG-1000 Family

It also can be presented very nice:
