The DISCUS - designed to JAR 22, category "U"
specifications - is successor to the STANDARD CIRRUS, of which
more than 700 were built. As the winner of the World
Championships in 1985, 1987 and 1989 the DISCUS not only is the
most successful Standard Class sailplane in recent years but has
set new standards in this class in every respect.
Nevertheless, this sailplane is by no means only suitable for
the top pilots. Thanks to it's pleasant and docile flight
handling characteristics, the DISCUS has long been a favorite
with clubs too. |
