I'm a Schempp-Hirth fan, through & true - but I can't let that get in the way of the ASW22BLE (now a poor mans open class glider), a glider I've always dreamt of owning!
You heard it first here Bernard :) Sadly the ASW22 that is for sale (at AU$70k landed in AUS), is sn29, so a small wingspan & limited to 750kg. An offline response suggests pretty clearly I couldn't fly it at 850kg during a competition. In the mean time, Schempp-Hirth all the way! Cheers, WPP P.s.
