Gin Bonanza 2 S — An Easy-Flying EN-C with Smooth Handling

When moving up to a higher-aspect-ratio C, the biggest worry is keeping the wing overhead on a rough day. The Bonanza 2 S asks little of you there despite its 6.44 aspect ratio, while its climb and glide keep pace with good C's. It suits pilots who don't want to give up performance for comfort. Its strengths come at the top of the weight range, though, so if your all-up sits mid-range on the S, check your weight before settling on a size.
