The Discus 2 is the sweetest flying ship. You won’t miss flaps. I transitioned from a Discus 2b to a Ventus 2bx but preferred the overall feel and handling of the Discus. I really only found the benefit of flaps on the odd slow tow.

I was only 18 when I owned it, and to be honest was not up against the best pilots out there, but it's more about the loose nut behind the wheel (stick) Oh yeah, not to forget the reason for this thread. I like flaps and in recent years my rides have been a Ventus a and a Nimbus 3D. I would have no problem having something without flaps especially something as cool as a D2c. The sheer joy of being airborne doing my best to be making like a bird doesn't depend on flaps or span :-) Colin Last edited by Ventus_a : August 15th 19 at 09:00 AM. |
