Default New member so bare with me, but PW5, how does she fly?

I own a PW-5 and have about 75 hours in it. It is a great glider as stated by Quietpilot and Bruce.

One attraction is it has "no nasty habits". Stalling is a non event. The nose mushes down a slight bit and the glider starts flying again. Ditto in thermals.

Because it is lighter and smaller than the Grob, you do get bounced around more in a rough thermal.

It is a great "first single seat" glider to fly.

A prediction - Once you jump into the PeeWee, you will never want to fly the Grob solo again.
