But SChleichers are not In the business of making mistakes - only improvements. Soalthough we thank the aforesaid readers for their concern, it did not worry us a bit, knowing as we do that theASW20Bwill shortly take up where the ASW 20 left off.And another thing about Schleichers. They are a conservative bunch and never make exaggerated claims. So when they saythe ASW 208 will be better than any other production 15 Metre Class glider, you can be sure it will be - otherwise they wouldnot make it.Do yourself a favour and don't get left behind.
