Bent up wings on Schempp-Hirth and Jonkers glider
I don't know if it was the extra tip dihedral or some other aspect of the design, but I found the Discus 2 to be the easiest glider I've ever thermalled - like it was on rails. It wasn't shabby on the run either.

Yes, but the feelling of the thermal is worse than with Discus1

I had 9 years of Discus B flying and 8 years in a Discus 2cT, which has the most sweepy- uppy wings of any current glider, and for me the latter had by far the better thermal feel and feedback.
