Ted at your experience level I would recommend if you
want to spend under 25k you go for an ASW19, Pegasus,
DG100, LS1F or LS4 (if you can find one for the price!)
Hornet, Std Cirrus (only with airbrake mod), Std Jantar.
All have around 36-40:1 performance, are suitable for
low time pilot, rig ok and are competetive in Sports
or 'Club Class'.
