Design & Development
The 2-32 was developed to make available a rugged, high-performance two-place sailplane for advanced training, record attempts, and competition. The 2-32 is of all-metal construction except for the fabric covering on the moveable surfaces.
The large rear cockpit of the 2-32 holds two average-size passengers. This feature makes the 2-32 very popular with commercial operators. Many two-place records were set with the 2-32.
