gliders. No student even understands what that mean if only thing

he/she
flies is Duo.

That still does not mean the student will be able to solo in a Duo

in the
same number of flights as they can in a K-21.


I have a Duo,and flown loads of pilots as guests,some loose it in
thermal turns with the speed and gee building.I always politely take
over very quickly.If I am in the duo its a personal glider and I am
not trying to instruct .But its a great ship and sadly for sale as my
partner wants to give up.
