Buying LS3a or ASW20a? ~$25k cross country glider. Which one and why?
Unless you're also planning on competing, or trying for records, you should widen your selection. The performance difference is very small between most of the second generation glass ships. Looking at the Johnson reports shows 1-2 points difference, but all of them measured better than 37:1 which is plenty for great XC soaring.
I have flown an H301 Libelle, Pegasus, ASW-20, and currently own a Mini Nimbus C. The flapped ships are fun and the Peg is very easy to fly. I love the Mini for the landing flaps (which some people don't). Lots of panel space and easy to rig (nothing is as easy as the Libelle. Automatic hook-ups and a very comfortable cockpit (about the same as the Ventus). Mike B.
