This past week I purchased an ASW-20CL. Wondered if anyone has any
thoughts on the handling qualities of the 2 configurations. The 15m
version is equiped with Nixon winglets. The previous owner never flew
with the extended tips so could not offer opinion or advice.

Thanks, Gary Adams


Sell the 16.6m extensions - the 20 is too light with them.

If I remember correctly, the 15m version has a better L/D from 65 kts
upwards - you hardly fly slower. A climb rate advantage of the 16.6
meters version is only noticeably in very, very weak thermals.
