Scale Soaring UK

Last year I was on the hill with my ASH 26 from a German manufacturer. A local flyer who I knew vaguely came and admired it, and asked if it had flown? I replied that the model was ten years old. He was very impressed and asked a lot more questions including the price. When I told him he pointed out that that was 4 or 5 times more than his fly Fly DG808, so I asked him if he was going to fly it that day. No he said, the wing folded up on the third flight......
