FS: Ventus C

Incidently, this is the reason so few of the US Ventus C models are
listed in the FAA database. Most were brought in and registered as B
models and the FAA record was never updated.

Were any C models with the A fuselage (C/A) registered as A models, or
does this confusion only exist with the B fuselage (C/B)? Just to
confuse things further, I know of one true B model that was retrofitted
with a newly manufactured set of C wings following an accident.

.... Which was quite the saga on the highways of Nevada. Something to do
with one wing being run over by a truck. I helped Rick Wagner get that
mixer to work with the new wings. The A/B and the C control linkages
are different, as you might expect.
What we might call a "Frankenglider" (or "Phoenix") B/C is likely
what many of us thought this glider was. It's interesting to see how
many factory B/Cs there are!
