Ok I been flying Aeroic Sess 60 I have to admit that thing had been a handful for quite a few flights. looking for the best solution to make it feel comfortable.
I had been flying it 70 mm CG. And tried going back some never felt good. I have found a forward of 70mm CG to tame it. now I am very happy with the way it handles like it on rails. Very predictable no bad habits now.
Every sailplane I have flown has always felt better aft CG. maybe it’s the repair weight I’ve added to its much better now I love it.

The cruel part of the Gulf coast, always wind, but few slopes.
Which is the green airplane?

I lived in Corpus Christi for a long while. We flew gliders plenty. 
My MiL was right in the bay with one of the highest bluffs on that part of the coast. Pretty handy.

Nice, I grew up in Southern California so I had plenty of slopes. The California sent me running to Texas. I’ve been here since 2009.I lived in Corpus Christi for a long while. We flew gliders plenty.

It’s been kind of chilly here it was 32° when I woke up this morning, now in the mid 60s.
Broke out one of my old dinosaurs T-Rex 700 Nitro pro converted to electric 12s fly bar, running an Xera before they became Xnova’s !!
P.S. that T-Rex is 20 years old.
