Default Zero ASH 30 Mi at recent WGC

They have only just started delivering them. Since none were entered in the WGC it seems that no top pilots have yet acquired one. I would be interested to know how it compares to the EB28 (as a 2 seater with a proper back seat you would not expect the performance to be quite as good as the EB29). Since AS took so long between announcing it and starting to build any, I wondered whether they were waiting until they could make sure that it was at least as good as the Binder. Does anyone know how the price compares?

They spent a lot of money getting it through new EASA regs- not a
performance thing. If they sell over 50 I'll be suprised. They where
successful with the ASH25 - but misjudged the market by trying to produce a
direct replacement.

It ain't going to keep up with JS1C, EB29 or Quintus - so why buy one to
compete in Open class? It has too much wing area, too big a fuselage and
too low a wingloading to be competitive. As a recreational ship it maybe OK
- but then everyone is buying 20m two seaters - hence the rush to get the
ASG32 into production.
