Wow! That bad.
I found a similar thread with similar advice https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...ng/zwO51PdZW00
It's just a pity that access to other flapped gliders is rather limited or expensive in my case.

The trailing edge air brakes are immensely powerful.


The trailing edge brakes were apparently only added in the N2C and are not found in the 2 or 2B.
