Replacing aging club Grobs...best options?

The ASK-21 (and other gliders of similar performance) can be flown XC quite well. And perhaps learning to do that is better training than jumping right into a glider that has higher performance than the first single seater the student is likely to buy? See what UH has done in XC mentoring in his ASK21. I am writing this as somebody who flys XC in a "Russia" AC4 in the NE US. Similar (or slightly lower) performance to the ASK-21.
