Looking to purchase a 5m but not sure of high enough performance. anyone with some hours on one. thanks chris.
Chris,
I have about 100 hrs in the AC4 which our club owned It has very crisp handling and I found it a delight to fly. Because it is so light, the club old guard thought it was "twitchy". As mentioned, some of the Russian workmanship and finish is not up to the German, Polish, Czech standards. As I remember, the L/D was about 33:1. I would assume the 5M handling and L/D would be about the same as it doesn't look much different from the AC4.
