But that is not to decry the 20, at 30 years old it "IS" best bang for your bucks and still holds its value. I didn't forget that - my remarks were personal observations from flying against L6s recreationally and in contests, and reports from other LS6 and ASW20 owners doing the same. I have also observed the ASW27 is noticeably superior to an ASW20, and that is why I don't lump the LS6 with the 27, but put it with the 20. You're both right. *Except that to suggest that any given glider did the winning is just silly. *The nut on the stick does that, always. What he wins *in* is generally "the ship du jour", which is as much a feature of fad and fashion as anything else. Eric, your observations leave out what (second generation) winglets do for the 20 -- not for the least reason that the original droop tip was a real aerodynamic dog. Modern tweaks on the 20B render a surprisingly competitive glider in 15m. *Ask UH, it goes. -Evan Ludeman / T8 Yes I too would be interested in what improvements are made with the added winglets. One of the 20B's I am considering has the aftermarket winglets added..still 15m ship after winglets were added. |
