But then one is going to fall in love with the 20.
From all the gliders I've flown (including nearly all of the 15m
gliders) the 20 has *by far* the best handling characteristics.

Nah - the 20 only becomes really sexy when its landing flap setting of
55 degrees is not castrated... really steep landings are half of the
fun in the 20.

Agreed. The only other glider I've flown that can match it for steep
approaches is a Puchacz.

Nice pics.

Unfortunately I've never seen either type let alone flown one. I have,
However, heard pilots talking about standing on the pedals during finals
and now I see why.
