I agree...what the heck is wrong with a 2-33? I took 2 flights in one a
couple years ago when visiting Estrella in Arizona. It glides much
better than my Corben Junior Ace! I thought it was a fine ship for what
it was designed to do: train glider pilots! I didn't expect a 200:1
glide ratio I am still interested in pursuing my glider rating. My
daughter enjoyed her flight as well!

Weellll now---which would you rather do--fly a 2-33 or stay on the ground?
Last week I was at Moriarty, NM. After launching, I climbed briskly to
12,000 MSL, having spotted 2 distant gliders frolicking in a thermal, at a
higher altitude. When I got close enough, I realized they were the ASC and
Sundance 2-33's having fun!

My first club had a 2-22, then got the 2-33 - the glider that got me
"hooked"! I am now completely addicted.

Yes, the controls take a bit of getting used to, and an understanding of
basic aerodynamics. Yes it looks primitive. Yes, it is usually time-worn.
Yes, I'd rather fly my current ship. But if it came down to a 2-33 or
nothing---I'd take the 2-33 in a flash!
