How is Discus14 handling ? It seems so stiff especially in turns

[ipken]

Discus - Easy and predictable, hard to stall and great for tight thermals.

Great performance and easy to launch and land. I generally fly with 1/3 to 1/2 VG, probably why it looks a bit stiff in the video.

Last 60 sec shows me trying to get down in the punchy thermals below the inversion at 350m.

Top speed about 5k less than a topless . I can generally outclimb them in thermals. Not as light as say a WW S2 but better penetration and performance.

Dennis Pagen has done a review on the D14

It's good idea to tune up the discus. Change in tip caps and lowering sporgs are improving performance and handling ;)
