performance
Fly a lower performance single seater first. SZD-51 comes to mind... Have your instructor watch your takeoff and landings...do 25 flights in a lower performance before jumping into the hot potatoe.

ASW-20B and ASW-20C Pro: Anything else.
In my opinion the 16.6m wingtips don't increase performance - the 20 starts to glide worse over 120 kp/h compare to the 15m version - the wingtips incr...
The ASW-19 would do as well as the Pegase, not quite as good a performance, but should be cheaper.
The ASW-19 was the machine of choice for the U.K. team in the Junior Sport Class World Gliding Ch...
There was a discussion in the local club awhile back that centered around 'low performance' gliders. A very interesting point was made. All of your badge goals predate the glass revolution. ...

You didn't state what performance range you were interested in. The old Stan Hall Cherokee II is a delightful experimental design that is both light and robust. It is stressed for mild aerobatics...
If the eta is so great why is there no performance data on the website?? - maybe I missed it.
there was no point in going for longer wingspan than currently.

Does anyone have experience using a 180HP C172 as a towplane? How does it's performance compare to, let's say, a 150HP Citabria? Any particular problems to be aware of?
Thanks,
And if you take up hang driving how much gas (petrol) are you going to use up chasing after your pitiful 10:1 performance?
A load more than the costs you quote in this post.....

The Ventus is certainly a higher performance glider than the Discus. However, it depends your experience.
The Ventus has a VERY special spin and stall behaviour. I wouldn't recommend it for a...
