Off topic, but is the Phoenix you're talking about, Eric?

That's the one!

And presumably you must be abandoning the wonderful ASH 26 for this?
I can see the attraction for aerial safaris, but won't you miss 50:1
performance?

I intend to keep the 26E until I notice I don't have
time/energy/interest to fly two gliders. I don't know how that will turn
out, but initially I'll be joining three other 26E/31Mi pilots that also
have a Phoenix, thus making four of us. I see them as complementary
gliders, not substitutes, and new Phoenix + old ASH 26 E (20 years now!)
still costs less than a new ASH 31Mi.
