First Glider Purchase

FIRST CHOICE ASW22
SECOND CHOICE A quarter share in a STEMME ST V10
THIRD CHOICE A LAK 12
FOURTH CHOICE ASW 20L


Must be the waning days of summer for us in the Northern
Hemisphere....you might poke around ras using search
to dig up threads on these ships.

I would be interested in knowing what your goals and
objectives might be in more detail before commenting...rather
then debate each ship point by point.
Particularly are you going to rig it or does it live
in a hangar.
IMVHO a good trailer is worth more then a couple of
points L/D, compared to a crappy trailer.
Automatic hookups....I like what the previous poster
mentioned, either you get it 100% perfect every time,
or you die.

70 Hours and no Bronze C - rule out all the ships you
have suggested - they are probably way beyond your
capability if not your wallet at the moment!
You have a budget of £35k -get yourself something like
a Discus, LS8a, LS4 - a nice standard class ship and
rack up a few hundred hours and a few thousand kms
cross country before even contemplating the ships you
have mentioned.

Except the -20. We've had people (even students) flying the -20 with less
experience without incidents. The advantage is that with 70h, you can
progress for quite some time until the ship limits the pilot.

BTW, I have one for sale :-) :-)

No I would include the 20 as well - it's not as forgiving
as these other types - have seen a few spun in by low
time pilots. Anyway I would heartly recommend you get
an assessment from your chief flying instructor on
your capabilities regarding your flying abilities and
a suitable ship -they will be in the best place to
give advice.
