L33 Solo

I totally agree with Greg. An ASW 19 at 25k would be perfect. Sexier,
faster, sharper, almost 38:1 and some say safer and easier than the 33.
An ASW 15 or a Grob 102 would be nice too. If your budget is 25k you
could also share a Discuss with another pilot.

I am in the same situation. I was considering an LP49 between 5 and 7k
Canadian but it looks like it is not for sale anymore.

I am now considering an ASW 19. I just need it to actually be
available. I would share it with another person.

You should try to find a ship that you'll be able to fly 100+ hours a
year for the next 3 to 5 years. I feel the 33 is great but that is not
a machine that will keep you busy and learning for 5 years. You could
be tempted to upgrade after 1 year. I have heard it is very fun to fly
though.
