I think at least one is flying. I remember seeing pics of it flying.

If you were asking whether any of the customer aircraft are flying, I am not aware of any yet.

Anyone know if there was any sustance to the rumor that they had a ground-loop some time ago?

I know they had one flying a while back; you're right it hasn't been updated in some time.

Anybody know how much one of the Flugwerk planes is going for? On the old site they had it listed as a kit for 500K euro.

According to Claus, the rumour of a ground loop was just that- a rumour. Their aircraft is in a new pernament scheme and another customers aircraft has been ground run. News item and photos in the next Classic Wings

Seems to me all these 'new build ' machines are taking their time getting onto the airshow scene....some have been around a few years now and have yet to make a public appearance in America or England or OZ or NZ....the Oscars have been silent, the Messerscmitt 262 has only appeared in Germany, the FW 190's are quiet.....how long's it gonna take before we see one or another of these birds at a major US show? I think they're just being careful (as they should be, look at the problems with the Oscar's landing gear)....better to have a safe display than a disaster....but sure would like to see one or another at a show near me SOMETIME in the future!
