Getting out of the clouds in a Ventus C

You shouldn't be in an unusual attitude soon after losing visual
reference unless you immediately begin wiggling the stick around. If the
controls stay pretty much where they were, the glider should maintain
the same attitude, more or less. But then I only have a paltry 42 years
experience with instrument flying...

And if you try the more generally recommended approach of airbrakes out, hands and feet off? That seems to work in both the gliders I most often fly.

You should enter the recovery mode from an unusual attitude since you will probably be in an unusual attitude very soon after losing external visual reference.

Unless I have reason to think the cloud goes down to the ground, I would not consider bailing out unless/until the wings come off.
