Tim,
* Sisu1A *on RAS makes extractors for the ASW20 (some models), and has
made one (or more) for his SZD. In both of those cases, the extractor
replaces an access panel or hatch that happens to be in a position
that is 'good enough'. *I made a simple 'Mandl Extracor' for my Speed
Astirhttp://griderpirate.smugmug.com/Airplanes/Glider-stuff/3702283_Rsct24...
and it does increase cockpit comfort significantly.
Does the Ventus have a conveniently placed access hatch, or will there
be cutting involved?
Cheers,
Jim

Jim,

There will be cutting involved and most Schempp-Hirth's are Standard
Airworthiness. *I am looking at something similar to the Jonker's
design for my Ventus 2 to improve the airflow and cooling in the
cockpit.

I would appear that you are not up to date with respect to ongoing
developments. EASA approval is very close for Schleicher gliders that
this vent was originally designed for.

I had the Eastern Sailplanes vent installed in my ASW27 and i have
little doubt that it is the single most cost-effective performance
improvement expense imaginable. I highly recommend it.

What performance gain did you see?

Is the US handicap guru, or contest committee, considering adding
extractors to the list of mods that require a contest handicap
change?

Huh. So, exhausting air into the low pressure area above the wings
works better than trying to exhaust it into the high pressure area
below the wings. Who'd'a thunk it?

Thanks, Bob K.

Ahh, the mysteries of life..... ;-P

I had to build my own glider just to install a top mounted Mandle
vent............

Hello Tim,

have you come up to a conclusion regarding the air extractor for the Ventus 2 ?

I installed one on my Ventus cM on the small engine bay doors. Works nicely..

@Tango Whiskey: could you share a pic of your installation?

As I'm too stupid to include pics here, I've sent you a PM. BTW, I don't read emails on my gmail account ;-)
