How much fun you have has very little to do with your L/D until you
start going XC. The 2-33 climbs well and the view is pretty much the
same as it is from a glass ship. We have lots of fun here in Oregon
with our pay out winch and our 2-33s. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to
be flying a DG 1000, but all I can afford at this time is the big, fat,
ugly 2-33. If anyone wants to donate a nice glass 2-place ship to us,
we will gladly accept!
Check out our new winch launch video on my web site:

Out on the dry lake we get as high as 2500ft on the pay out winch, at
home on our 3000ft runway we can get as high as 1300ft in a good wind.
With no wind we can get to about 800ft, which is good enough for
landing practice
