Hi, Can anyone tell me if a Ventus 2C panel will fit in a Ventus C tilt panel installation with little or no modification? Also, if someone has a DXF, CAD, DWG file whatever, of either of these I'd be very greatful for a copy. Cheers Fish

I lost a section of mylar on one wing. Anyone happen to know what the thickness measurement is? 22mm, 25mm, 30mm etc.? I am not near my glider presently. THX Dennis DC

The Schempp-Hirth web sites does not have information on the Ventus 2 anymore. Looking for numerical data on the cockpit sizing differences between the Ventus 2 A model, CXA, B(X) and C and CX. I am selling my 2CX and a tall pilot is trying it on for size and is interested in understanding the...

Hallo, Anybody knows weight difference (empty) between those two models? How about fuel tanks? Thanks. Andy

Sorry for the duplicate topic post, I had an error posting the original topic. I recently purchased a Ventus Ct that did not come with Oxygen. There is a large pipe style clamp to the starboard side of the upper fuel tank area. As well as a small bracket forward of the with no associated mounting...

Can anyone help me find the above? cheers Damien

I need to replace my zig-zags on the horizontal stabilizer, but I would need to know the required position cordwise (upper and lower surface). I took it off and cleaned before having a look at the maintainace manual - which does not give any info on the topic... :-( Any ideas ? Bert TW

For those who own Ventus Cm: have you ever measured the voltage on the starter when it is running?. Mine, with fully charged battery, while electric starter is running, voltage on battery fall out to 10volts, and on starter I measured only 6 or 6.5 volts. I have a voltage lost of aprox 2 volts over...

Looking for a Ventus CM flight manual.....in particular a description of the steps required for extension and retraction of the engine, and some description of the engine control instrument. I've worn the internet out looking for info but have had no luck!! Cheers Fish

Please note a new Ventus C variants AD in Schempp Hirth website. Requires inspection and replacement of Airbrake components. Dan

Just curious, how is the performance of the Ventus C with 17.6m tips installed versus standard 15m with good winglets? I have done some searching and seen some consensus that the 16.6m tips are typically not used much due to the performance degradation at high air speeds. But what about the 17.6...

I’m looking for a cross county glider. The Ventus C comes with 17.5 and 15 winglets. It also has factory tips. The LS6 has low hours and the wings and horizontal stab was refinished and painted. The fuselage is in good condition and original. Both have Cobra trailers and the Ventus’s...

Apart from the very sweet looking 17.6 m tips and tail ballast what are the other differences between the Ventus B and the Ventus C. Does the C have the same long cockpit as the B ? I believe the C handles a lot better. Ian

FR, Paul Elliott of Hobbs is looking for the standard, adjustable seatback for a Ventus C. His number is 505-397-4322 or reply to me with the "removethis" removed, and I will send you his e-mail address. Larry Pardue

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have four sets of tips for the ship (plain factory tips, short factory winglets, 16.6 extensions and Masak winglets). I rarely ever use anything but the Masak winglets although the problem is the same regardless of which tips I select. The problem has always...

I have a 1987 Ventus C that I purchased in 1995. Love the plane but it wants to roll to the right at high speeds (90kts or greater). Actually I guess it always wants to roll to the right but I start to notice how much left aileron pressure I have to apply to counter the roll at the higher speeds,...

I am thinking about doing a refinish on my Ventus C. I am wondering if wing templates are available? Also I'd like to cut down some of the cost by doing most of the grunt work myself. Under the watchful eye and coaching of a knowledable refinisher. Is there anyone I can go to who would could...

I'm a relatively new owner of N571RD, Ventus C S/N 355 and would like to know other owners to ask the occasional question. Please respond - maybe we can set up a sub-group.

Hallo! I'm looking for Masak Winglets for the Ventus C. If some one wants to put the new Maughmer winglets on the Ventus and would have a spare set of winglets left after the exchange we could be in business too. Best Regards
