People might have a problem moving from a 2-33 to a DG-1000 because of
bad habits and misunderstandings that the 2-33 hasn't corrected, but I
really don't think there's anything especially hard about "fast glass"
if that's what you learn on.


There's nothing hard about fast glass, it's just that
slow, draggy fabric and metal is so much EASIER :PP

I'm gonna bet you guys don't solo someone who has
never flown a glider after four flights. And then
tell them "sure, you can handle it." What,
$120,000 worth of glider? After four flights?
Man, I gotta get into this club...
