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!

Wasn't that the Christmas eggnog?


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.

Just did my first spins in a 2-32 a month ago. Yee-Haw! is right!.
I've done the shallow bank cross control entry in a Blanik too. I think
it made the impression the instructor wanted. :-0
