Default L33 Solo

In the UK it is not exceptional to go solo on the ASW 19. But they
don't learn on a 2-33 there ;-)

It is in my club (Cambridge). We train in all glass (Puchacz, G104,
ASK-21) and, after 5 initial solos and checks, transition to the Junior.
Its a nearly perfect early post-solo glider.

After 30 hours on the Junior we can migrate to a Pegasus or Discus.

I spent a happy year flying Juniors up to Silver C standard and then
moved to the Pegasus. If you're prepared to consider an ASW-19 you
should also look at a Pegasus 101 or 90. The 90 is later than the 101
and has self-connecting controls.
