I personally don't have any time in the glider, and I'll take you and
the test pilots at their word. The issue is that in real world
situations it has demonstrated a statistic for killing people. In a
training environment, you have to consider that while you need a glider
that will spin effectively for training purposes, you also need one that
is going to be more forgiving of mistakes. Mistakes are a part of
training. Therefore it's not the glider you want to use.

through the the program and found no unusual flight/spin modes. The
conclusion was you must do spin recoveries by the book and no halfway
methods will work.
The consensus from the instructors seems to be that it is a good trainer.
