Someone once described to me how quickly a 2-33 burned as he pulled it
out of a grass fire. *This 'crash' was in the online media, but one

I am aware of the 2-33/grass fire incident you are talking about.
The description to me was from the time the fire started at the tail
of the plane he had enough time to open the canopy remove a seat
cushion and get away from the airplane. It burned very fast.

I lost a good winter vario in the glider.
