So when the student finally hops into the Jantar he thinks, great, If I spin, I'll have at least 1500feet before I reach VNE?
Sorry, but I think that teaching REAL spinning characteristics and recovery (and hence why spins should be avoided) is more important than simulations I have no issues spinning the 1000. At least I've never had to recover from an inverted spin, unlike an IS28, but that's another story.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] IS-28B CQC's last flying day: Funny, European and British gliding clubs cherish their K13's. I don't believe gliding there is suffering as a result of teaching in "yesterday's gliders". I understand Lasham (?) have 7 or 8 K13's going from dawn till dark. Some years ago I flew the DG-1000 at Camden including spins. Spins nicely but jeez, it's a rocket when it stops and thought then it was gonna scare the c..p out of students who aren't right on the ball and give the instructors even more grey hair than they've got. Anyone know if a DG-1000 is used for ab initio training? At least a K21 takes 1500' to get to Vne. Merry Xmas, Leigh Bunting On 24/12/14 08:25, Tim Shirley wrote: 1. It doesn't seem to be a wise strategy for the future of gliding to teach tomorrows pilots to fly in yesterday's gliders.
