I've spent a long time studying Schleicher aircraft; not as much

looking at S-H ships. Can anyone explain how much of a performance

difference there is between a V2c and a V2cx? I understand the

fuselage changed between the two; any major improvements or

innovations, or was the D2 fuselage just slightly better and easier to

manufacture? Any aerodynamic differences (other than the fuse) between

the 2c and the 2cx? Any comments on whether an "older" 2c is

competitive with an ASW-27 or other current 15m ships?



Thanks a bunch,

Noel,
I spent a fair amount of time studying the Ventus and almost bought one before a clean used 27 popped up. Its like everyone here said; new tail, better handling and the outer wings were tuned up. Also, the CX has the safety cockpit (Worth it in my book). The factory was very helpful with answering questions. I may still have the drag polar they sent me (If you PM I can look). Heinz at M&H is very helpful.
Good Luck
