Pw5 is the best for any class.

I think it was Terry Delorre who said after flying a PW5.
"Its like masturbating with a cheese grater..... Curious but not very
satisfying."

and I think it was Ben Flewett who remarked on seeing the PW 5 for the first
time that it ' It looks like an escape pod for an ASH 25'

What you flying now, AL? I heard you were looking at
a Ventus A model. Did you sell the VB?

Having flown 3 hours in a PW5 I can honestly say it

Now if I take my ASW22 I have over 800 hours in that
and I must say its
jolly nice!!

I liked the ASW17 and the Ventus B 16.6 was a great
machine too.
My old Libelle and Kestrel were again great ships each
with there own
plusses and minuses.

I find it funny that my old SZD59 at 13M would out
perform a PW5 and
could pull 7G's

Guess the SZD 59 was the nearest I ever got to a PW5
ownership. But
you cant fly a PW5 inverted in the wave pulling snap
rolls.

Yup case closed... PW5's really do suck!!
