I have only had a couple flights in a 2-32. My instructor specifically warned me about the spoilers (dive brakes). Unlike spoilers on most modern gliders, these things actually do brake or slow down the airspeed when applied. It takes a conscious effort to maintain proper airspeed when using the spoilers on approach. My instructor also warned me about the tendency of the 2-32 to drop a wing and spin when pushed beyond its limits. The impression I got was that while it seems easy to fly, the 2-32 is not forgiving.
