I'm curious if anyone happens to have a picture handy on their computer which shows the port (left) side of a Ventus B gear assembly. In particular, I'm curious how/where the aluminum strip which comes from the "fender" forward to the left side of the wheel/ gear assembly is attached and where it...

Hello fellow first gen Ventus owners. I'm removing and replacing the seals on the lower wing surface of my Ventus b. The previous installation had tape (perhaps teflon) from the wing to the flaps, but no mylar seal. The ailerons currently have both tape and mylar kombi seals. I'm using...

Dear Soaring Friends. Does anybody know what kind of tabulator tape to install where exactly under my Ventus b wing. Thanks a lot. Best regards, Uwe

Anybody ever convert a fixed aluminum panel to a tilt version - using the factory or any other design. Question 2 ... can you replace the aluminum panel with a glass version ... perhaps with the addition of tabs or stiffeners ... thanks,

Does anyone know where in the US I can go to rent a Ventus B 16.6? I was considering the purchase of a Ventus B 16.6 and I would like to get a few flights to see how they handle. I have 500+ hour gliders with 100 in a 304CZ. I have flown 125 hrs this year. Randy Tulsa, OK

The Ventus A and B models really need a good wing root fairing. Schempp-Hirth realized their mistake years ago, and offered a simple aftermarket fiberglass fairing mod kit. I installed mine during the early 80s, and it really helped the low speed performance. I think it may still be possible to...

As it's raining here in the UK, I've been following the results from Uvalde. There's a fair mix of types in 15m & Open Class, but the Ventus 2 is absent from the top half of the results in 18m. The Ventus is the oldest of Schempp's current fleet, so any rumours of a Ventus 3 on the horizon? PF

Considering a Ventus 3 FES, which of course comes with the Sport fuselage. I’m 6’ in height and 170 lbs, pretty slender - can anyone with first hand experience speak to the size/comfort I would likely experience in this ship?

Hi can someone let me know how much a Schempp Hirth Ventus 3 retails for? I had a look at their website but I've cant seen to find a price. Thanks.
