I agree with you for the 1-26 because it is a sexy machine. But I have
heard several times that the L33 is not any easier or safer than a Grob
102. You are right though; I was also told that the L33 is more fun
than the 102.

We are not telling Jeff to buy a Jantar; just a 102 or an ASW 15.

If I was going for an older ship I would buy a KA6E.

In the UK it is not exceptional to go solo on the ASW 19. But they
don't learn on a 2-33 there ;-)
