Default Another first glider query.

The trailer is a critical thing to look at. Fitting in the glider will
also be critical. Flying wise, the German ships will be lighter and
more harmonious on the controls. The Jantar 2 is a good runner and
honest to fly. The controls are a little heavy but not bad. With some
fine tuning the cockpit can be one of the most comfortable of all
gliders. Rear visibility in the Jantar is very good. A Jantar 2 won 4
of 9 days at the US Sports Nationals last year and had many 15 m ships
following it around on course. It runs well in the 75 to 80 knot
range.
