how do you pronounce Grob?

I've heard it pronounced 'led swan'
;-)
Generally pronounced to rhyme with "rob" around here.

Yup, that's right. I used to know a guy who worked at Mattsis and that
was how he pronounced it.
Maybe the earlier models are slow in roll and the tail is "heavy". But
I really like the G103 Twin Astir, feels a little like a Mercedes Benz.
All that momentum makes it a lot more comfortable than something like a
K13 in strong conditions. In weak conditions it does emulate a well
thrown brick...

Maybe I just don't know better, but I like 'em.
Everybody I know who has flown one for a while says exactly the same, a
brick but I really enjoyed flying it :-)
