I don't see how you can compute a "handicap" into "landout"
32L/d in the 2-32 at 65mph? and the 36L/d in the G103 at 55knt?

I would think that means the 2-32 has a higher sink rate in fpm.. but I'd
have to go dig out some POHs to know for sure.

..and a G103 is handicapped at 1.14. 'IF' it became
time to derig the larger crew might be helpful, but
with that kind of handicap in any contest, the 2-32
can fly much more conservatively and get home while
the poor Grob is picking its landout field.

Seriously, is the handicap for the 2-32 real or just
a typo somewhere ?

Well, the nice thing about going XC in a 2-32 is that

your crew (both of them, even!) with you. And they

In my experience they seem about equal to a G-103,
perhaps a bit weaker
in climb but better on the run. Definitely a strong
weather ship.

Otherwise, nice flying ship, if a bit heavy. And hard
to find - as
they are in great demand at commercial operations in
the US.

Great spin trainers, by the way!
