Grob
How much could you expect to pay for a Grob G-103. What is the top dollar
for a very good one and bottom dollar for a not so good one. I know that you will say it all depends on hours and options etc but I just need a ball park in AUD or USD. Regards, Bob. |

First off, Bob, there are two Grob G-103's out there.
One is the G-103 Aster, it handles like a truck and I wouldn't consider it at any price. The G-103 Twin-Two handles very nice and is worth about 35K if the gelcoat is in good condition.

The G-103 Twin-Two handles very nice and is worth about 35K if the gelcoat is in good condition. I think JJ is probably about right on the price. I've flown two Twin Astirs, and one Twin 2 and I have to disagree with JJ's assessment on the handling qualities. The Twin Astir has retractable gear, is slightly heavier and a bit more of a pig on the ground. In the air, I find flying the TA much more pleasant than the T2. Neither one of them is particularly responsive. Maybe the T2 handles marginally better, but the T2 seems incredibly sensitive to coordination (underactive rudder?) whereas the controls on the TA feel much more harmonious. I'd personally rather fly a TA over a T2 any day. That said, I don't think either is all that much fun to fly (better than a 2-33, but thats not much of a compliment). Although the performance is marginal, I find the K-7 and K-13 *MUCH* more fun to fly, and I think they make a very good transition ship to single seaters. I'm also a big fan of the Janus. It's not as nimble as the K-7/13, but its coordinates well, has excellent pitch sensitivity, and relative to the Grobs, it handles much better and has better performance and a lower sink rate. It's a very demanding ship, but it's probably my favorite two seater. dan |
