Schleicher cockpit
I bought my ASW 24 in 1992 based in part on photos of one that had clobbered a ridge at Mifflin. Pilot walked away.
It cost more than the Discus for no better performance but I was happy to pay. Haven't tested the cockpit. But the landing gear is also a marvelous design with shock absorption and progressive failure in mind that did come in handy when I hit a rock just after touchdown. Kudos to Gerhard for his work in safer gliders that also fly and perform great. Chip Bearden JB
