In the early 60 s , a kind member at MASA more or less gave me carte

trained and spin aware, I expored it's stall behavior; it dropped a wing
so viciously that I did not let it autorotate. It had Clark Y section
and no washout as I recall. Did a few croscountries in it including running
a cold front squall line with resultant outlanding.
I thought it a reasonably well harmonised glider with very modest performance.
it would be interesting to revisit some of these early impressions.

I don't remember it being particularly well co-ordinated or nice to
fly. It was available which was its best point.
