Easiest glider I have rigged - Discus CS
5 minutes from opening the trailer untill ready to fly. It takes longer to take the wing covers off and fold them if pegged out. Ok it is more expensive but will definately hold its value better. Worst glider I have ever flown PW5. I am not trying to open the debate yet again but the problems I found with it. * uncontrollable climb if launched by a powerfull winch (might have been sorted on later versions) * weak tail. If you do a fully held off landing so the tail wheel touches first it wobbles. * Lack of perfomance. My old K6e was better and a fraction of the price. The Russia seams a much better bet, especially if you go for the retractable version. An 80 year old did a 500km cross country in the UK last year in one. mind you his name was Derek Piggott :-) |
