Hi guys,

I have
finally narrowed my search to 2 gliders. I am aware
of the following on each glider:

Jantar - Visibility during tow, and tight cockpit (I
am 5'10' 148 lbs so I fit ok).

Pik 20D - Thick wing mold, parts support, and flaps.

Jeff, I asume you are talking about a Jantar Standard?When I was
shopping a few years ago I noticed that the price of an ASW20 was just
barely more than the PIK20D.So I went with the ASW20 as a first ship
and no complaints (Just be methodical about checking yourself out)!The
PIK is nice, but I think the ASW20 is just a bit faster and MUCH better
product support.Stick with the flaped ships if you can, you will be
alot happier than with a standard.
Another thing to consider is that with ships this old, sometimes you
just have to go after condition and not limit yourself to a peticular
type of ship.
Good Luck, you are just in time for shopping season.


Thank You,

Jeff Runciman
