Hi,
I know there is a forum for this, but I am after other comments from
pilots in this group who may have flown the aircraft or own one?

Nice handling recreational sailplane, not a racer.
Approx performance of 1-34 or K-13 with 12 meter
version, (actual experience).
Easy to fly even for a low time pilot. Climbs well,
effective spoilers, landings easy.
Predictable flight characteristics, no sudden stalls/spins
stall speed 39kts, best L/D 52 kts
Very easy to assemble/disassemble, automatic
control hookups.
I have had mine for 2 seasons and put approx
80 hours on her. I fly her cross country whenever
possible. It's not a racer, you won't keep up with the
15 meter ships, but as long as you are not in a hurry
you can have a very enjoyable afternoon.
If you have more questions, see my ad on
wingsandwheels. There is a link to my website
for the Silent-IN I am selling. My phone and email
are listed there, you can contact me directly if you
want more info.
