I have flown the club version of the DG101 (fixed wheel), and I have also flown the ASW19 quite a bit. Both are comfortable for long flights. Visibility in the long canopy DG was excellent under certa...

Derek Piggot has flown one. Read about it at:

...was in Germany last week and saw the Eta in the DLR hangar at Braunschweig. It is indeed being regularly flown, by Hans-Werner Große. It is an amazing looking sailplane, beautifully designed, detaile...
There is no comparing an early Ventus and a Discus!!! I have flown both this year at Nationals, a Discus A (which is for sale, please email me if you have any questions about it), and a Ventus A. They...
... a Jantar STD 2 and the L33s are by far more popular.
It is a very comfortable glider to fly. I have flown one XC and landed out, it was easy to land short,de-rig,rig, and the factory trailer was ...
The worst that I've personally flown was a Cessna 172 whenever my instructor gleefully pulled another engine out drill. Max L/D is maybe 8.
I was pretty impressed with that until last year wh...

I have at one time or enother, flown most of the types assigned to the bottom of the desirables list; never had a chance at a TG-2 but i am surprised no one mentioned the 2-22!! It was a lot worse in ...

Sailplanes are wonderful but there'...
