I am not familiar about issues with the AWS 27, care to enlighten a
beginner ?

ASW-27 is a 15 m flapped single seater - replaced the well-regarded
ASW-20.

Unflapped 15m gliders are generally easy to fly, i.e. little harder to
fly than a training two seater such as an ASK-21, G-103 or Puchacz once
you've engrained the undercarriage retract lever into your pre-landing
checks. Flapped gliders are a bit different especially as, unlike power,
the flap lever tends to be your prime speed control throughout the flight
and not just for launch and landing.

A straight-forward web search for the type name such as ASW-27, LAK-17,
ASK-21 or Puchacz generally gives several hits on any glider that is
flown currently. Try 'Perlan 2' if you want to see something thats really
extreme or SG-38 for a blast from the past.
