LS6 would be a really good shout. You may find one of the later models (LS6
b or C it think?) which would also give the 18 meter tips. Not to sure
about the cost though. In early 15 meter should be well within budget.

It has already been mentioned, but the DG tax ought to be a consideration,
although not a deterrent. LS gliders are some of the most lovely gliders to
fly. I have not flown a 6, but have 300 hours in the 8.

Great feedback, guys.

Based on this and word from my club mates, the guidance seems clearly on

Given this, I've decided to pass on the very sweet, pristine Discus 2b

report its a great ship and really enjoyed talking to Richard.

So, now I'm really down to WHICH awesome 15m flapped ship.
Ventus 2 - (can't find one in my budget at the moment)
ASW 27 - (of the two on wings and wheels, one has sold and the other one

not responsive to my info requests)

Aside from the LAK, should there be other flapped, 15m ships in the $70k

less range I should be looking at?
