Default ASG-29 versus Ventus 2CX

Dear Marc:

Thank you for your comments, however, may I suggest to you that I
really know why I am asking the specific question I am asking.

I am looking for an intelligent unbiassed discussion about only V2CX
versus ASG-29.


I do not know if I can be intelligent about it but I try to respond to
your subject line. The ASG29 is in character very much like the ASW26
or 27 same airfoil. Since the 27 competed successfully in many 18m
contests, the
29 should do very well too. The cockpit of the 29 is the market
standard.
The quality and execution is excellent (but for the spar shrinkage)

The Ventus has similar performance and is admired by a lot of folks
around the globe for its handling and ease of thermaling.

If I had the money and the spar problem gets resolved (I understand
they are working on it) I would go with the ASG 29.

I fly an ASW24, but do not call me bias.
There are other gliders I admire but I tried to just stick with the
subject line.
