Default Newest Sailplane in the world on display at the 2016 SSA convention

I care that is why I commented. usually the air likes smooth transitions. If you view the photos on FB there are hard bends in the wing. I wonder what the purpose is, why they are not smooth transitions and is there any separation on the hard edges of the bends?

As for the 29, over 300 have been built for a reason, it is a wonderful glider. The new Ventus has a 3 plus year wait and it has not been vetted. I am sure it is a great glider, but only time will tell if it is better than the current standard.

Who cares? God it's beautiful! An astonishingly gorgeous aircraft. I just hope it doesn't destroy the resale value of my 29
