I will be flying a 2-33 next week.

Why? Did you lose a bet ? g.

I have only flown Blaniks, Larks and my
Libelle.
What are the important speeds for the 2-33?

Vne 98 mph , best L/D ~45 mph , min sink ~ 40 mph

Does it have any unusual characteristics?

- 23:1 ... at best g.

- It doesn't stall or spin More like "mush" and "lazy wing drop".

- On tow you won't be able to trim off the forward pressure

- Aileron / stick movement at slow speeds is limited by your legs !
Think "long" control throw !
