The :S6 a fine glider, but it is not a match for the ASW 27.
This pilot, and the other ASW 20 (and B/C) pilots I know, did not *find
the LS6 to be superior in contests.


My personal experience from flying and racing my 6b against ASW-20s,
ASW 27s, etc is that overall, the 6 is slightly better than the 20,
and the 27 is slightly better than the 6. And the 29 is slightly
better than the 27.

Of course, individual gliders vary enough to make up the difference -
in particular, some 27s I found easy to outrun and outclimb, while
others just plain left me in the dust.

As always, it mainly the nut holding the stick...

All are great gliders!
