U-Turn Blacklight 2 S — A Mid-B That Keeps the First Generation's Climb and Files Down the Edge

Big ears go in easily, work efficiently, and reopen without delay. The response to turbulence sits between high-B sharpness and low-B bluntness — precisely where a mid-B belongs. Normally a wing this comfortable hands back some climb rate. The Blacklight 2 doesn't. The bill comes due in glide. Sitting in the middle of the B category becomes a hard limit the moment you are chasing a Mentor 4 or an Iota on an XC race. This is a glider that traded its place in the glide rankings for comfort and climb together. For a pilot who would rather grind patiently into weak thermals and win altitude first, that is a price worth paying.
