Vario Comparison

One of the things I love about a 2-32 is that they are an honest spinner, like a T-6, ham fist it and over you go, hope you know what you are doing. Totally agree - flown properly the 2-32 is a sweet glider, same as the T-6. And I found the stall/spin characteristics of both to be entertaining reminders of how planes used to fly - and a strong incentive to respect them! The "balancing on a needle" feeling of a T-6 just before the stall break is priceless! Been awhile since I spun (intentionally) a 2-32, but still remember the serious push force needed to get that stabilizer forward to break the stall. None of this "let go of the stick and scream like a girl" spin recovery in that beast! Yeah, I know, not PC, deal with it ;^) Cheers, 66
