The Schempp-Hirth electrical diagrams shows no use of shielding. I've looked
to the newly released manuals for the DG-1000T which uses a similar
installation. The DG also uses no shielding.

My question now is, does someone have an explanation to why this is?
Could there be any good reason for not shielding the ignition wiring apart
from laziness?

Yes - perhaps it does not cause problems when the ignition and radio
wiring are correct, and the engine and radio are functioning properly.
Do other Ventus 2CT have this problem? If not, then you should look for
bad ignition components, improper wiring, loose connections, try another
radio of the same type, and so on. If it is a common problem, perhaps
owners on a Ventus forum can suggest ways to reduce the problem. And, of
course, complain to the facotory!
