Thinking about purchasing a club class glider for next year (can't afford

a

JS1 or ASG29). I know Std Cirri seem to be popular, but notice G Dale has

bought a DG100 or 101 and won the UK Nationals in it -just wondered which

would be the best for club class competition and what the pro's and con's

would be of the following:-



Std Cirrus, 75 or 81 ?



ASW19/19B



ASW15B



LSIF



DG100/101



Std Jantar 2/3



Glasflugel Std Libelle



Glasflugel Hornet



Pegase



I'll have about £15k max to spend.



Paul,

The best advice would be to buy a ship to match the soaring conditions

you expect to compete in. The DG-100 climbs like stink, but doesn't

run all that well.....................probably a good selection for

weak conditions, but a looser in strong conditions. Same could be said

for the Libelle and G-102. A Pegasus, Hornet or Jantar would be my

choice for strong western conditions here in the US. Don't discount a

good trailer, remember you will live with a crappy trailer every time

you assemble and disassemble whatever you buy.

Cheers,

JJ
