Default Best cross country ship class

Great feedback, guys.



Based on this and word from my club mates, the guidance seems clearly on the side of flapped.



Given this, I've decided to pass on the very sweet, pristine Discus 2b Richard is selling in Colorado. It's one of the nicest used ships I've ever seen. A couple from my club happened to be in Colorado and had a look. They report its a great ship and really enjoyed talking to Richard.



So, now I'm really down to WHICH awesome 15m flapped ship.

Ventus 2 - (can't find one in my budget at the moment)

ASW 27 - (of the two on wings and wheels, one has sold and the other one is not responsive to my info requests)



Aside from the LAK, should there be other flapped, 15m ships in the $70k or less range I should be looking at?


Well, I owned a HPH 304CZ for 7 years and it is a great ship that you may want to also consider. It is also in your $70K price range. Thx - Renny

When I was shopping for my first (and only) glider last year, it was just like discovering girls back in high school. I fell in and out of love with four different ones over a period of six months.

I'm glad I took some time to sort that out.
