Kawa impressions of AS33. Not the best choice for Grand Prix unfortunately because the smaller wing area, ala the JS3, ala most modern 18m sailplanes. Shocker. I STRONGLY maintain that it is utterly unfair, illogical that in the a “600 kg limited 18 meter class,” the SGP managers choose to use “wing loading” to “equalize” 18 meter class sailplanes. This makes absolutely zero sense. This is non proportional and nonsensical. It obviously favors the larger wing area gliders (Hi Ventus 3 cult…I see your shit eating grins) in the full flight range. Kawa says the 33 climbs “very well” but is “unstable” in all axis in turbulence. Says it requires some effort to coordinate. Well, so does any glider (ASG29, Lak17a, etc) I have ever flown (other than the Arcus, which is a bit of a truck) and if a sailplane doesn’t require some effort to balance in gusts then it’s probably slow in the run. Sounds like it’s a good climber. For me, that’s the key but in this case it should be stronger than the 29 in the glide. Still no objective results from the 33 PROVING it’s performance. Only subjective accounts.
