I am the former owner of a flapped Nimbus 2 and have also
flown Ventus B and C models, ASW20, ASH25 and Janus. I
generally flew the circuits in zero or the first stage of positive
flap, and only selected landing flap once lined up on approach. If
I was landing into wind in turbulent condition I would use one
stage less. Also, once safely planted on the ground I would
select negative flap to give good aileron control for the rest of
the ground run. Hope this helps.

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 !
