Default Discus 2a vs Arcus @ 200km/h - EGC 2013

And yet, the Discus2 has the same OLC handicap as the Glasflugel Mosquito...

Hi ladies and gents,

Here is a video made by Sebastian Kawa on ECG 2013 at Ostrów in
Poland.

This video presents final glide of his Discus 2a wing to wing with
Arcus flying at 200km/h. As you can see at this speed performance
of 20m span glider is no better than 15m Discus 2a.

quote (1m 8s of video):
"A why they're buying such expensive gliders...".
Regards
Wolf
