All my training in a G103. Looking for a decent glass ship under $20k.
Looking seriously at 15b or Jantar Std 2 or Standard 41a. Any big
differences between the Jantar choices? I get that the 15b will likely
climb better in weak lift but the Jantars will dust the 15b when XC. I
am 6'1" and have long arms, so a Jantar should not be a problem for me.
I know I can't go wrong with the 15b but there is the gelcoat issue...
and if I want to get into XC any time soon the Jantar will do better.
Comes down to condition of plane and trailer for what can be purchased
under $20k. So an opinion about any and all of the planes mentioned
would be good with emphasis on the performance difference regarding the
Jantar 41a (Standard) and 48-1 (Standard 2). THANKS

Never flew the -2 but it was reputed to have better performance than
the original Jantar Std. The (original) Jantar Std was my first
glass ship (leased not owned) and I did all my Gold and Diamond
flights in it. I didn't realize how much of a dog it was until I
bought my ASW-19b! Of course had I not had the opportunity of the
very low cost lease I may never have got into XC and contest flying.
Any glider is better than no glider and I learned a lot in it.

BTW the trailer on that glider sucked but it had no influence on how
often I flew, or where I went. I didn't know any better.
