New ASK-21prices

Hi Gang
I have only about 6 hours in the PW6 but have flown maybe 30 other
gliders and motor gliders. To be able to fly solo in the PW6per club
rules I had to demonstrate stalls and recovery from spins. There
absolutely was no extreme buffeting as I approached stall. In fact my
take on the PW6 was that both its stall and spin recovery
characteristics are benign. It is an ideal glider for instruction
unlike the 21 which will not normally spin unless weighted down in the
rear. So what do I conclude? If the buffeting on a particular PW6 was
as described there was something very wrong with that PW6.

Your one flight experience seems strange . Where was it?

I would not want to train students in the PW-6 owing to its stall
characteristics. *I had one flight three years ago and we did acro in it.
Perhaps it is the all-flying stabilizer, but there is etreme buffeting if
you approach the stall slowly -- so much so that the stick will jerk
backward and forward in your hand a couple of knots above stall.
