I have it on good authority that it will be there.

We probably all could've seen the V3 in 2017, IF THERE HAD BEEN A CONVENTION...

Any of you guys keeping up with how its been doing in competition. The methodology of choosing the wing profile seemed similar to how the Duck Hawk's wing profile was chosen, and that didn't seem to work out well commercially.

SF - Just go to the Schempp-Hirth website and you will see that the new Ventus has been doing just fine in competition. It began in January at the WGC in Benalla where, in the 18m competition, four of the seven participating new Ventus gliders finished in the top ten (including a 2nd place finish). There were many successes during the summer and it finished up in September where, from the S-H website: "Congratulations to Wolfgang Janowitsch for winning the 19th European Championships at Lasham, UK, in the 18m Class, with Mike Young finishing 2nd and Bert Schmelzer 3rd, all on the new Ventus."

It seem to me that their new wing profile is working out very well and it is performing as designed. This might also help explain the long wait time when ordering a new Ventus. Thx - Renny

At the risk of offending the JS3 fanboys with the impressive Ventus 3 results, here goes:

WGC 2016(7) Benalla: 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 11th, 27th, 33rd

Italian Grand Prix: 1st, 2nd, 3rd

UK 18m Nationals: 1st

Austrian 18m Nationals: 1st

Swedish 18m Nationals: 1st

Swedish Open Nationals: 1st

German 18m Nationals: 1st, 3rd, 22nd

European Championships 18m: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 13th

Okay, sell those old ASG 29 / ASW 27-18 and pull out your check book.
