Not too bad where and when? These heavy gliders are not bad for goldfish bowl style flying when you always end up where you started every day but are seriously hard work in an on outlanding or safari where there's a limited supply of hands and good backs. The tail loads are fairly high too and trying to turn a glider 90º or 180º to self launch from the end of a strip is a three person job. The Arcus' tail wheel in the rudder design is an interesting design decision which some might not have made.
