You can do both: sand and paint in the Winter, and you can have a glider
that climbs and glides better all the time. Fly in the summer, and learn
to choose better thermals. If you do the work yourself, I don't think
the cost is very high, and you'll get some of that back if you sell it,
and enjoy looking at it and wiping down in the meantime.

Sure..sand and paint is much less effort than sand, fill, measure,
fill, measure, sand, measure, sand and finally paint. BTW my Ventus 1
is said to have a FX79-144K airfoil. I don't know what the V2 uses.
Have you tried to contact S&H directly? They are usually very helpful.
