I used to own a V2, pleasure to assemble, great climber, while never flown a D2 I have owned several ASW-24's (similar to Discus). If you are new to soaring and xc flying it is hard to beat a good standard class glider for a first glider! The Discus is easier and more simple to fly than the V2 and I believe a much better ship for new xc pilots. Being an easier ship to learn and fly well, you will learn faster and get your confidence faster.

I know the Ventus 2 is flapped and Discus is not. I am talking about ease of handling that the Discus is known for. Is the Ventus 2 with its wing design change similar to the Discus or more like its predecessor to fly. The Ventus A/B do not receive the greatest reviews for pleasure flying. What do you who have flown them think.
