Hi all

Has anyone fitted winglets to the 18M tips on a Ventus 2C?

I heard this may have been done in Europe, any information greatly
appreciated.

I would even look at getting some Maughmer winglets designed and mod
approved if I had enough interest from other Ventus 2C owners.

The Ventus 2C 18m is not designed for winglets. It has extreme
polyhedral already
and the last short section of tip is turned up so high that a winglet
would prove worthless.
The V2CX improved the design by reducing dihedral and adding Maughmer
winglets. There is a
measureable performance improvement in the CX, but part of that is due
the new fin, rudder and
horizontal stab, and increased wingloading.
