Although George Thelen doesn't name the sailplane that is the subject of his
July 2004 Safety Corner column in Soaring magazine, he seems to be talking about the ASW 20A. Perhaps someone familiar with that particular accident could elaborate. Bryan "Ventus B" wrote in message om... I have been considering buying an ASW20, ASW20B, or ASW20C. I knew they were champions in their day and still have a lot of admirers. However a few folks from my club say they have some nasty spin characteristics. Specifically, that they have a tendancy to not only immediately spin when stalled, but will go inverted as they spin. Can anyone eloborate or corroborate? I normally only hear good things about the 20. Respectfully,
