I found the 205 to be easy to fly and easy to rig. The brakes were very easy to use too.
It makes me wonder about the skill level of those who found and difficulty, my 17 year old son has the same view.
Best of all, it’s not as ugly as the 201, the most overrated old glider.


Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...IMO the 201 or 301 are one of the most beautiful glass gliders ever made, and they handle as well as they look. I think few would disagree.


I drove a '301 for over thirty years and could not agree more! Their distinct lines makes them stand out from the crowd. Only once did a total newbie walk up to me asking 'Is that a Std. Cirrus?' :{
