I flew my Pik-20B on Sunday, the 23rd of January. I
made 2 tows, the first to 4000 AGL and did a series of
stalls, shallow and steep turns, and some looks at the
extreme nose-down attitude this glider requires for
full-flap landings. My glider uses 90-degree flaps
like most molded models, with no spoilers. Flair for
landing doesn't require any back pressure. It's a
matter of easing off the forward pressure, and winding
all the flap off at the instant of touchdown. My
second flight included some typical weak winter
thermalling. By the way, Gordy wasn't with me
neither... and neither time did I dork it in!!!
