Well if you are looking for an easy flying glider...you
can't go too far wrong with a Discus, it doesn't get the same rave reviews of handling like the LS4, but is still one of the nicest gliders I've ever flown and it is slightly newer without getting into the realm of Discus 2's, ASW28's and other really expensive modern German glass. Barn door airbrakes make field landings easy, decent enough wheelbrake, launches easy, docile stall, goes like the clappers and is forgiving of most indescretions in thermalling.

Is there a newer model plane that people adore as much as an LS4 for its good balance of performance and behaviour? Thanks. Waduino. --- 'Jeff Runciman' wrote in message ... Thank you again for your advise. Any more thoughts on the LS4? Any concerns with the age? What should I pay for one? And are there any flying groups for the LS4? Thank you again and I hope I can contribute to the group as I go along. Jeff |
