Hi Chris, I ordered a cable from
2 stories from the UK, both true.
1. An ASW20a is rigged, filled with water and a 750km flight declared. (yes in
the UK). The pilot outlands at a different gliding club after dumping water and
having flown 500km. The Pilot gets an arerotow home, and at the piont where the
pilot moves the
prices are also very good.

I agree Mark, all too often we whinge on about nothing on this forum when

The stochastic risk is the luck (or bad luck) factor of radiation. i.e. even a

ASW 19 max wingloading is only 41kg/sqm, what's the LS8? about 54? Even when

In the UK, a statistic was thrown around afew years ago that 5people a year were killed by soft drinks vending machines and 4 people a year on average died in glider accidents. I've been more careful retreiving my Diet Coke ever since. Oh, and never rock the machine if it gets stuck.

Mike,
I have owned 4 gliders, 2 of them flapped so Iunderstand what you mean by the benefits. You should fly this glider though to see what I mean. I didn't take it over 100 knots in the cruise to see the high speed performance but in the climb it is trully outstanding.

All,
I flew the 18m D2 on te weekend and wanted to convey my thoughts on it. I found it a very easy glider to fly given the wingspan, performance and lack of flaps. infact it was as easy if not easier than a Discus 1.
