L33 Solo

I agree with you for the 1-26 because it is a sexy machine. But I have
heard several times that the L33 is not any easier or safer than a Grob
102. You are right though; I was also told that the L33 is more fun
than the 102.

We are not telling Jeff to buy a Jantar; just a 102 or an ASW 15.

If I was going for an older ship I would buy a KA6E.

In the UK it is not exceptional to go solo on the ASW 19. But they
don't learn on a 2-33 there ;-)

It is in my club (Cambridge). We train in all glass (Puchacz, G104,
ASK-21) and, after 5 initial solos and checks, transition to the Junior.
Its a nearly perfect early post-solo glider.

After 30 hours on the Junior we can migrate to a Pegasus or Discus.

I spent a happy year flying Juniors up to Silver C standard and then
moved to the Pegasus. If you're prepared to consider an ASW-19 you
should also look at a Pegasus 101 or 90. The 90 is later than the 101
and has self-connecting controls.
