Discus/DG-300 performance difference
I would second that on the ASW-24. I flew one for 600 hours. Maybe because it was my first glider, but I loved that bird. It was very responsive, and unlike S-H gliders, you can reach the instrument panel while strapped in. Plus the front hinged canopy, hydraulic disk brake, safety cockpit.... In my humble opinion the 24 goes as well as a discus and has many advantages over a discus. The downside of both the ASW-24 and LS-7 was that they needed to be thermaled a bit faster to get best climb rates..whatever you buy, the 300, 24 or Discus you will have a ship that you can fly many hours and miles.
