The ASW 20 seems to have a reputation for bad behavior in some configurations. Is this reputation deserved or overblown? What has been the experience of those who have owned and flown the glider? Are some variants of the 20 better or worse in terms of handling characteristics?

I flew the ASW20 for about 1500 hours, it is the finest 15 meter ship ever built at the time. Mine was fantastic, it was a L model, wold run like a scalded ape and no bad habits that you could not recognize. Bob

Meant to say there were no bad habits!!! Fantastic ship, would go down in the sailplane hall of fame if it existed. Bob
