Overall a great plane and the carbon fibre in the wing is excellent.
The pilot decided to land on a field.
I’m working on that. Thanks Taylor. Very typical Schempp-Hirth glider in every way, except that the airbrakes require quite alot of muscle to pull out! The boom to tail join is a bit iffy and will be using thin carbon rod to add strength. I took a closer look at our flight traces to see how well my Ventus 2cxT held up against John’s JS3. While the striking wing layout sets new levels of thermal exploitation, the ultrathin airfoil design also improves the cruise. But I doubt it. Its optional 15m wingtips have been completely designed from scratch and were given new winglets which have been optimised for the smaller wing span. The discount was disappeared during checkout. I also found I had to reverse the shaft which was a pain as I had to dremell a little groove in the opposite end for the little clip to hold the shaft in. Available for both editions, they turn the new Ventus into a highly agile, perfectly balanced racing class glider which will let you experience the 15m Class in a new way. A better way to save time would have been for me to just not do that one pointless exploratory turn. There the JS3 has a handicap of 119 and my Ventus has a handicap of 118. I’d treat the published JS3 polars that are linked to with a great deal of suspicion.

I am using a 28/26 1000Kv motor 315watt http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=29824 Took the plunge even after hearing HK model purchase horror stories. To do that we have to estimate the values for the JS3 at a wing loading of 51kg/sqm and that of the Ventus 2cxT at 40kg/sqm. The table shows that even at equal wing loading the polar data still suggest a performance difference of 6-7% for the JS3. With all wing reinforcements in carbon. During cruise flight the engine failed and could not be restarted. From your first aero-tow you will notice the Ventus’ remarkable manoeuvrability. The wing design of the new Ventus was optimized from the beginning for 15 meter and 18 meter.
A rudderintegrated steerable tail wheel and underwing wheels provide independent maneuverability on the ground, similar to the system known and loved by all of our Arcus M pilots.

The Sport Edition’s new fuselage has been re-created from nose to tail. The reason is that the speed polar drops off quite steeply at such high speeds.

Kit is really good and the finishing is very smooth. Discus-2c. I have put the nose down with the finish in sight and am more rapidly losing altitude.

In addition we can see that John also lost 532 ft more altitude than I did during the final glide (John lost 7287 ft whereas I lost 6755 ft). Please, sign in or sign up, michael 5 points - 14/05/2013 The joint flight experience will double your pleasure and success. Is it possible to fly the Ventus with 15m wing span? Purchased as a kit April 2013 approximately *50 sterling. i n f o A upgrade with a FES-System is principal possible, but due technical reasons associated with much more work than a configuration with a FES-Engine from the beginning.
