Default Ventus 2c vs. 2cx

In my opinion, the 27 is still reasonably competitive in the 15m class (2
in top 5 in the Europeans at the moment) and so is the Ventus 2a (pre 2ax)
- the slightly older 15m gliders still do very well in their class.

However, I think the reality is that at national/international level the
Ventus 2c is on a different level to the 29, JS1 and cxa in 18m, and the
wing loading of the 2c in 15m means it struggles against the pure 15m
designs (27, V2a(x)).


The wing loading of my Ventus 2cT in 15m configuration is the same as V2ax, V2bx. They all have a wing area of 9.67 m2 and a mauw of 525kg.
