Default Manual for Schweitzer 2-32

Great glider - lots of fun, comfortable, runs with a G-103. Climbs OK
if you really crank it over and slow it down to just above stall - just
pay attention to the yaw string and the prestall nibble.

Awesome terminal velocity divebrakes - worth a high tow to check them
out. No excuse for ever getting slow in the pattern - just come in
high and fast and slow down on final.

Lands in a real flat attitude - have to resist the temptation to land
really low-energy as it's real easy to touch the tailwheel first.

Spins nice, too!

Flies better from the backseat - just make sure the stick is secure -
it can get exciting on takeoff when you think the stick is starting to
come out of it's socket!
