The Mini DS is an all new plane designed specifically for dynamic soaring and high speed. While it is a completely different plane from the Mini 1, it is designed to capture the old-school charm of the original Mini 1. It is intended for Dynamic Soaring and not as a frontside plane. The Mini DS flies best when loaded heavy in good wind. It is not a beginner airplane. A seasoned pilot with some DS skill will find it to be a handful at first. A skilled DS pilot will have no problem flying the ship. The Mini DS, as a dynamic soaring training aid, will help pilots hone their reflexes and improve their circuits.
