ASW20 or LS6

I think the spin reputation of the ASW-20 is a bit undeserved. Mine behaved perfectly predictably once I got the CG forward of the aft limit where the previous owner had left it! The LS-6 does have a narrower cockpit, but this should only be a problem if you have really broad shoulders. I suggest you try both before deciding. There isn't much difference in performance between the two. Mine departed twice during roughly 45 degree banked thermalling turns at around 45 kts in flap #3 (zero flap deflection). There was no buffet or warning - it just went. I wondered if it was just something my glider did. I also thought it might be due to micro-turbulence in those two thermals, so I tried repeating the turn near home at the end of the day at the same and at even lower airspeeds she just flew smoothly round the circle. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |
