What a lovely new sailplane!!!

Seems to be existing only on paper so far. Calling it a Duo ASG-29
doesn't sound innovative so they stuck with their very German and uncool
letter-number combo. Smart move to try and capture some of the 20m
class business dominated by the Duo Discus.

Agree with Paul: lovely new glider!

"Duo ASG-29"? Glider named like that would NOT capture any business at
all... That uncool letter-number logic goes back to KA-1.


Heck as a proud Ka-6 driver I kinda like the AS naming convention. Very
ordentlich :-)
