ideal training glider
* Good visibility : No * light, good handling : No
* Spacious cockpit : No Hmmm...I think the 2-33 has good visibility and a spacious cockpit. It is not 'light handling' and I think pitch sensitivity is a disadvantage in primary training, so I LIKE the heavy controls of the 2-33 and Blanik. As far as looks go, just make sure you're always inside it and not looking at it Mark Boyd P.S. I'm still willing to pay recycle rates for 2-33's if anyone has one... |

I guess, if you have had both legs amputated. Otherwise it is impossible to get full aileron travel without lifting your leg up out of the way, which is difficult to do while stepping on the rudder. Perhaps this is why Schweizer trained pilots typically have such poor coordination. Good visibility? How many other gliders require you to bank the opposite direction to properly clear a turn? 2-33 == bad glider |
