World trade in hang gliders
Over the last year there has been a some what steady decline in
the price of the euro relative to the US dollar: I'm sure that most of you have heard about why this might be the case or if you
live in Spain, Greece, Italy, etc., you've had as opportunity to experience
those reasons up close. Gliders made in Europe (Icaro, for example) would appear cheaper to American
buyers. US made gliders would appear to be more expensive to European buyers, if
their retail prices reflect the currency changes. On the other side of the world things are a little more volatile, as the
investors try to figure out what direction China is going, what climate change
is effecting, and what the Australian government is up to, but pretty much where
it started out a year ago after a lot of us and downs:
Australian made gliders (Moyes and Airborne) have been relatively more expensive
as the Australian dollar continues to be quite strong unlike what was true at
the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009. You can go to this site below for more
