I've been corrected by others that the G2 has a respectable polar.. funny
it's not viewable on the web.. the stall is below "min sink".. look at the
min sink speed, best L/D speed and about 20knts more.. see where the polar
goes..

I too have not flown one.. just talking with a club mate that went to AZ to
look at and possibly buy one.. he passed and got a DG-600 instead.

I've heard the Genesis has a rather narrow speed band between stall
and
best L/D and the polar falls off rather quickly after that..

I haven't been able to locate a polar for the Genesis 2 on the 'Net, but
looking at http://www.nwinternet.com/~blanikam/...is2-glider.htm,
there
seems to be a respectable difference between the stall speed (36 knots at
5.6 lbs/sq ft loading) and best L/D (43:1, 56 knots, 6 lbs/sq ft loading).
Is that reasonable?
