"Slippery, difficult" is concept invented by old men taught in

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.


That happens with first timers in a Blanik too.
