Hello gents, I am in a glider course mounting the Astir Twin heavie. Which Condor two seater is similar in handling and performance?

Twin is empty 390 kg, gliding coefficient 1/38, good on elevator but heavy on ailerons and rudder. Thanks!

That would definitly be the ASK21. But you need to buy it seperatly.

Thank you, I bought both ASK21 and DG1000 and they feel very similar. ASK by elusive flight model and DG by cockpit design and awesome out of cockpit view.

Having flown both the ASK 21 and Twin Astir (G103a Twin II) in real life, I can say the G103 is much heavier on the ailerons and more sensitive in the elevator than the ASK 21. The ASK 21 is a pleasure to fly in real life and in Condor, but it does not accurately imitate the handling of the G103. Maybe the performance, but not the handling.
