Dustin Martin flew with U2s and Discusses for four days and swears the U2 has a better glide. But wait, does that depend on how you tuned your Discus? Everybody seems to agree that the Litesport has a better L/D, but does that fractional improvement make up for the alleged loss in handling?
Or is it all too close to call--the three gliders are for practical purposed just about the same?
