I took my first ride on this, a Grob 233 -- This plane is a blast -- we did a bunch of acrobatics, including some loops where we hit 4 G-s.
The plane I did my training on. Not quite the beauty of the Grob, but it's tough and pretty beginner proof. The toughest thing about flying sailplanes is the landings. You have to do this funny crossed controlled slip to cut speed and lose altitude as well as fight a crosswind. It's most unnatural. Luckily this glider is built like a tank.
