Either the 103 or K-21 would be a much better choice. I certainly
agree with the other posts about flying the 2-32. A flying truck is a
perfect description. My preference to transition would be the
ASK-21...much better rudder feel than the Grob.

I'd agree that the ASK021 may be better if the G103 is an early model
(Twin Astir or G103A Acro II). Those will teach you a lot about speed
control/energy management but their roll rate leaves a lot to be desired
and both are under-ruddered.

However, if you can find an Acro III (G103C - the one with a Discus-like
wing) that's the one to go for. I flew one for the first time a couple
of weeks ago and liked it a lot, especially flown solo. It retains the
speed management issues of the G103A but is much more responsive in roll
and has a more powerful rudder, which both make it nicer to fly and
closer in feel to single seat glass.
