For you cowboys at a bijillion feet at 25% from aft C.G.
torquing it up tight in a thermal way over gross with ballast
in your schmancy gliders without a hint of stall warning...
Mark, come to the dark side...
(Deep raspy breathing - a well used cannula perhaps)
Oops, got to go find some lead to put in my tail; that pesky CG is
trying to creep in front of the rudder pedals again...BAD CG! Go back
where you belong!
Seriously, if you want to try out a nice spinning US glider, get some
time in a 2-32 with a QUALIFIED spin instructor - that lovely hunk of
tin will absolutely water your eyes out of a cross-controlled skidding
base-to-final spin setup! No warning, and YEE-HAA there you are
staring at the ground.
Lots of fun (at altitude with parachutes, of course).
