Another hearsay post from someone who hasn't flown one.

Couple of guys in my old club had one and I recall they liked it a lot. Apparently fun to fly. Quite a thoroughbred with good performance, for its age at least. Loved the original VSI with +/- 30 m/s range and the static wicks, even if I'm happy that competitions these days do not consist of tens of gliders all heading for the same CB...

Then there was the seating position... suggest you try it on for size. Map management should be even more fun than in most glider cockpits!
