I didn't know that the 2-33 had that weak of a tailwheel. After
instructing in them for the last 5 years (4yrs 357days), 7 days a week
with around 1800hrs in the back of them. Soloing 50+ students in
them, while only allowing low energy landings at our school. I have
watched 1 get broken, not from landing, but a careless student ground
handeling it.

Good for you! Like I said, the 2-33 is a great trainer to get a pilot to
solo. And cheap. Beyond that, if any pilot wants to fly a glider with
different characteristics than anything they've flown before, they
ought to do some preparation beforehand.
