Cheers, David
FYI, Grunau Baby ... flew 2 of the DFS-49 Grunau Baby IIb2 glider version (wider cockpit) on winch tow, open cockpit, many times. Glide ratio of 1:17 or less (optimist). You push one rudder and ... wait for response ... Deep stall and one can look ahead the other way! Landing distance down to just 5 meters, not much wind needed. -Ed
