OK you have a choice of the latest 18m flapped class
gliders - ASG29, HpH 304S Shark, DG808s, LAK-17, LS10,
JS1, Ventus2cx, Antares18s (think thats them all?)
which one would you buy and why?

You did not mention ASH26
I assume the turbo or self launch feature is of no consequence to you.
Is all out contest flying a consideration?
The above should be considered, as it would help those who may want to
comment .

Why limit yourself to only one?

Well, I am not sure that there are so many ASH26E without E. Most of
them have been manufactured directly with the engine on board.
It is not easy to find an ASH26E on the market but finding an ASH26
(without E) should be a real challenge.

Excuse me for reporting that the new gliding magazine, Gliding
International, has literally taken off like a rocket.

It is three weeks since issue one first appeared and we have already reached
a breakeven point with every indication that subscribers will exceed 1000 by
issue two.

Our web site is up and running www.glidinginternational.com/ and part of
the news section from issue one is on the web for all to read.

New subscribers can register on the secure site which is also now up on the
web.

We are always interested in new stories for our team to investigate.

After you have done your research, I can get you an Antares 18T
for next season (North America) !
