Discus CS for sale by
Bob Thompson
409CB, s/n 211CS was built in 1995, first flown in 1996. I purchased it in 12/08. Sent it to M&H for external touch-up, new gap seals, and completely new instrument panel. Great a/c, but I haven't been able to fly it as much as I had hoped. It comes with an aluminum top Cobra trailer.
