LS6 does NOT have a benign spiral mode. And if I stall IMC with the flaps in cruise or thermalling position, it won't spin either - it will depart directly into a spiral. Which unless corrected pretty quickly, will leave you with a 1 meter wingspan LS6.

Without gyro instuments and training, IMC in a modern glass glider is a quick way to destroy that glider.

With gyros and training, it's just another skill - ask the Brits, who seem pretty good at it.

I suggest Son_of_Flubber get some education on how the Brits practice cloud flying before calling them "reckless".

A subscription to "Sailplane and Gliding" (The BGA's magazine) would be a good start to his education....
