Default DG 505

We are considering the purchase of a DG 505 as our
top end cross country and aerobatic training glider.
Our budget and delivery requirements, preclude consideration
of either a DG 1000 or a Duo Discus at this time.
Any feedback concerning glider handling on the ground
and in the air would be appreciated. How well does
the 505 handle weak weather conditions? How effective
are the dive brakes, wheel brake etc? ( Off field landing
capabilities.)
Our Club fleet composition right now: 3 Blaniks, Puchacz,
Twin Astir, Hornet, Junior, LS 4, Jantar and Std. Astir.
Will the DG 505 require any unusual transition training?
Thanks in advance. JB
