Default ASW20 and Discus in Club Class next year.

An AS-W20 "long in the tooth???

Certainly older but give little to nothing away to current generation
15 m ships in most conditions. Look at how many 1000 km / record
flights have been done in 20's. I believe Terry Delore flew the first
2000 km flight in one.

The -20 is probably the best all-around X-C ship ever built.
Excellent performance, good handling, and ergonomics, well crafted and
engineered and the flaps allow for outstanding off-field capability. I
would never buy a std class ship due to the lack of flaps.


If you are not top 20 in OLC or in the racing community,YOU are the
weakest link in the performance chain!

20's Rock!
