I'm a rather new glider pilot and I am about to fly on the PW5 as my instructor deems me to be competent after training on the G103, I've seen photos and the glider seems small and the wingspan is only 10 meters or so, so I was wondering how she flies. Any PW-5 experiences?



Thanks!

Happy gliding!

The PW5 can teach you so much about soaring. Nothing will let you feel the energy in the sky any better than this ship. I now alternate between my PW5 and my Duo Discus. Both are fun to fly, but on a day I want to push beyond 400 Km, I want to do it in the PW5 not the heavy 20 meter ship. (The PW5 is also great in wave flights.) Even though I have 1,000+ hours in a PW5, each day flying it is a true joy.(For more on flights in a PW5, you might want to check out this web site: valpaget.com)
