My brother flying Schweizer 2-33 Glider at Blairstown with his instuctor

My brother does a takeoff after being hooked up to the tow rope. He flies aerotow in a 2-33 behind a pawnee towplane. You can see the release and tow plane landing. Then the video ends with his landing in the glider.

the schweizer 2-33 is the first and only aircraft I've ever soloed in so far. It's an amazing aircraft, and it lifts like a feather.

Like a feather? Are you kidding me?

The 233 is just a brick with wings.

It doesn't have great penetration not only compared to other gliders but just in general... and also you don't generally use ridge lift to climb... Still it is a fantastic glider and it is very fun to fly. It does climb very well in thermals I will say

[Lunkhead2]

absolutely, although it has poor penetration compared to other gliders, it excels in gaining altitude from thermals and ridge lift.
