Let me first apoplogize for posting a first glider question. What the
heck, there's not much soaring weather out there to distract us this
time of year.


I'll let Stu and others answer the Ventus handling questions... I've not
flown one..

but as for the weather.. last Saturday was a beautiful day soaring wise,
post frontal instability, north winds providing ridge and shear line lift..
you must live up north somewhere..
