He said if they get a leak you have to tear into the wing to fix them. Are they prone to leaking? Nick- My memory of that conversation (and those beers) is that I said the Ventus tanks sometimes need that kind of repair. I know of two Ventuses that had to have leaky tanks fixed. Never heard of the problem with the ASW-27. Must have been more than a few beers. How unusual! Had various problems with water ballast tanks and fittings in AS, SH, JS, LS. Tanks are really great - until they suck. My input on the original question, I won't buy another side-hinge canopy (left over from the 70s). Not as user-friendly while rigging, putting stuff in the glider or getting in and out. Ask your reapair station how many Schempp canopy hinges they've fixed versus others. Personally not keen on single-pin rigging either. But if you're really after a Ventus 2, get a 2Cx so you won't later wish you did. Jim |
