Great glider
Ailerons can be heavy only because of wing to aileron interference, but
can easily be relieved per Dick Johnson notes that are floating around.
Will climb with everything else, but takes a bit more attention to get
the best performance.
When loaded with water, use the landing flap setting when flying small
or choppy thermals.
Trailing edge airbrakes are very effective.
Replace the standard factory plastic tail wheel with a roller blade
wheel if not already done.
Make sure the water dump valve mechanism is in good shape as repairing
means cutting into the wing.

More than happy to answer any other questions. *I owned a BT for 3 years.

Hi,

Yes, there are a lot of post about it, in fact, my brain is quite
messy with them, so ...

I ve flown Twin Astir I and II, ASK-21, PW-5, Astir CS, Pegase and
LS-7 and now i would like to take a step forward buying a Ventus bt,
the problem is that i don t know anybody who owns one and i would like
as much information as possible about its handling.

I know that its difficult to compare a LS-7 (a craft i love) with a
Ventus bt, but i have no other experience ...

The two point i m most interested are its "hands off abilities" and
the dealing with weak days.

Thanks and happy landings :-)

Well, i´m not a racer pilot, i only want to have a good glider in
which i would be able to fly far relaxed and also in which i wouldn´t
have to run the engine meanwhile a Libelle floats around, of course
there will be days in which i will be full of water, but this is not
the most important for me, the important thing was to know if a Ventus
bt pilot had to be some kind of hero :-)
