Small paddocks here mean high landing energy is an issue, at my age I would
prefer it a bit easier
My preferred list in order for old open class is Nimbus2c (for its
airbrakes, but pricey), Jantar 2B, ASW17 (very heavy though)
Things I would like to know are opinions on a 2Bs handling/flying,
maintenance issues ,parts supplies
Factory support etc
German gliders generally have 12,000 hrs lifespan, how does the Jantar 2b
compare
