I went to see the ASW-19 and it is like you said, but that one needs a new coating.
As for the PIK, this is an ongoing project, so far the LS-1c/d has my full attention.

Thanks again for all the feedback here.

PAGA,
I've had my LS1-c for about 21 years now. If you questions, don't hesitate to ask.

As for performance: The easiest way to get better performance out of my LS1-c is to let a better pilot fly it! I found out that works great. Cheap, too!

I would look at the DG101G before buying one of the others. If the gelcoat is original it will probably be Schwabelack which is unlikely to craze and shouldn't land you with a refinishing bill down the line. The wings are effectively the same as the ASW 19 as both are derived from the D-38. The 101 variant has a modern one piece canopy and conventional tailplane (unlike the earlier DG100s).
