Gary,

Your concerns are well founded. In some cases MKIVs can be hard to
handle and are clearly not for everyone. On some gliders, the dramatic
drag reduction gained by the sleek MKIV can cause a pitch-up moment
exceeding elevator nose-down ability. Refutable, but otherwise
unreliable sources, report instances of Schweitzer glider pilots,
intending only a training circuit, being forced to stay up for hours
in marginal lift. Scary stuff. You've been warned.
