Learning on the bunny hill is normal before moving to triple black

A Junior is plenty good enough to get your Silver C in (I did) and the
Poles have flown 300 km tasks in them, so Gold should be on the cards
with a portable oxygen system installed. One of ours went to Edensoaring
as part of last year's expedition and those flying it had a ball.

Keeping in mind what the next step is (our club has a Junior but it is
foreseeable that the first single seater will be a Discus 2 or
similar), having a draggy trainer is becoming less and less relevant.
