Default Which 18m FES sailplane to buy?

Purchasing rules for gliders are quite simple...

If you want flaps buy Schleicher
If you don't want flaps buy Schempp

(Schleicher don't do FES, (Yet))

with or without FES - unless it was agreed that it would be a V3 when it
arrived.

The V2cx is not a flapped Discus 2c. They have completely different

wings.
The D2c (I bought the first production one new) is a superb handling
15/18m glider that is very suitable for a low time pilot.
