Hi sorry for the thread creep
I have just Changed to a Ventus 2c after 1500 without flaps.
As briefed I roll in negative flap and change to +2 when I am

sure that I
have aileron control.The tug pilot knows all this and tows me at

70+knts.
Am I now at the flap limit for positive flaps?
Last flight I was happy up to 70 but above I chose to go to 0.

Limit for any positive flap setting on V2C is 86 knots, Vfe per flight

Thanks that helps.
