Use of Flaps in the Pattern
Dave,
I wonder about the use of positive flaps in my Ventus C during downwind and base legs.

The answer to your original question varies immensely
depending on type of glider.
For your glider, first consult the manual...
Then, it depends on the type of wingtips fitted.
With the original tips you may find roll control
'uncomfortable' in landing configuration and
rough conditions, in which case don't use 'L'.
With winglets fitted (or short tips) this is
less of a problem in your glider...
Hope that helps !
