RE: 157" Discus Glider
A friend of mine just finished one. Bottom line-you get what you pay for. While, yes, its a lot of plane for the money, the quality isnt quite as high as some of the eastern european kits. That being said, his came out nice and he's happy with it. If youre buying on price and you dont have plans on spending $600-$1000 for a 3.5-4 meter scale plane, go for it. If you can afford to go above $500, you can look for a clean used 4-meter plane. Spend some time searching "Scale Sailplanes" on google. Theres large kits of vintage sailplanes that are very reasonably priced, Such as the WWII TG-2 and 3.
