Why all the 20's up or sale? Does the princess turn into a 1-26 at
midnight. Hey, Ron (434), don't you own both? R |

R Hmmmmm... my princess definitely does not turn into a 1-26 at midnight... lordy, that would be inconvenient. Not sure about my ASW-20 though... I've simply never checked. Perhaps tonight I will tip toe out to my trailer and peek. Why the concern Henry, thinking of trading up? rimshot See you at New Castle. Evan Ludeman / T8 |

I always wanted to fly the 20. It will always be among the best, a
classic. The 12 was another on the list. 4 20s for sale on a single W&W page among others got me pondering the odds. R |

My 20 never turns into a 1-26, at least while I am looking. It might be a Schrondinger's Cat kind of dilemma, though. Other than for wingloading to go out and race other folks who only want to fly for 3 hrs in a day, why would you need any other 15m ship? The 20 is my vote for the best all-around sailplane ever built. And the 12 was a kiddie car..... until you have to land it. Then you better be awake and on your game. I would like to get mine back. |

Bob - I couldn't stop myself the other day - W. the ASH-26 is great for cross country flying, it goes so good it feels like cheating. My job has me working most weekends, weekday tows in the Vegas area are hard to come by so the noise maker behind the cockpit is great for getting to the first thermal. 1-26's are fun too, Levy and Dixon fly some amazing flights in them. I'm a life member of the 1-26 association and looking at getting another one after I get my blaniks flying and one sold. Jim |
