I have an Aeros Discus Model B that I would like to trade for a Falcon-3,4-195 or Alpha. The Discus has about 35 hours on it and the sail is still like new. I'm willing to sell but would rather trade. This model breaks down to just under 8 feet for travel. It's an advanced intermediate glider. I haven't flown since my son was born 8 years ago and need an easier glider to get back into flying. The picture below is a stock photo, not my glider.
