"Hands off" decent from altitude with spoilers?
I was taught during wave training that all sailplanes, properly trimmed, when
you let go of the controls, will seek a gentle banked circle to one direction
and maintain that attitude, even in light turbulence.
There must be great variation from one a/c to the next with varied CG and trim
settings.
What experiences have others had and with which makes and models?
Thanks,
Michael
