Default Ventus 3

Looks really cool.
Handles very nicely in the air.
More ground clearance with wings level.
(you may need to ask the wing runner to hold it higher)
With a low sun angle, there's always a reflection catching your attention.
Doesn't fit in the trailer as easily.
Pulling the tip out of the trailer, you're not on the center of gravity.
If there's any undulations or rocks, with a wing down the wing can hit outboard of the skid.
Not much to compare to a PW-5, unless V3 has a forward-hinged canopy.
Are the multiple angles easy to refinish?
