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?

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.

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.

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.

And they stay on the market for how many hours before purchase?

I love the 20 but as with the 17 my size 12 feet don't fit into the
pointy nose very well.

The 26 works for me as the cockpit area is longer and my feet are at a
wider point of the fuselage.

Wowser! Could there BE a more powerful endorsement for a 1-26?!?

Um. Bob. Jim flies an ASH-26E. That is the "26" he is referencing. Of
course, the 1-26 has a nose wide enough to put your feet and a couple of
dogs or cats to keep them warm if you go wave flying.

Chortle...Steve it's a good thing you're a glider pilot and not a fish!
Methought therein (i.e. the 'mistaken identity') lay the humor...

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.
