Default ASW27 VS Ventus 2bx

Gabriel

I have 100+ hours in the 27b and also in various ventus' (But not the2bx).
I assume you are talking about 15metres for the ventus.

Performace wise I think there is little difference between them but I would
choose the 27 over the ventus every time especially for cockpit comfort.

The only negative for the 27 is the tail water system and that is only a
slight negative.

tell me that if I need to ask, it is because I would not feel the
difference
I currently fly an ASW20. I have some experience on the ASW27, on some

good
XC flights.
I am interested in everything that you can come up with, like:
- Handling;
- Weak VS strong weather performance (it is pretty weak where I fly, in
Southern Quebec/Canada);
- Maintenance;
- Ease of watering up;
- Cockpit comfort (I'm 5'6",155 lbs);
- Ease of rigging/derigging (I learned that a good trailer and ease of
rigging is half the fun of flying);
- Etc.

Thanks for sharing you experience,
