V3 details

If anyone is at Aero 2015 please confirm whether the V3 is 15-18M or 18-21M? And please include the wing area for each span configuration. The Facebook picture may be misleading but it sure looks like the V3 wing cord is narrow when compared to others. Thanks.

Now I see the wisdom from LX Nav renaming the V3 vario to the S3 vario.

Couldn't figure out how a V3 vario would have a wing span as questioned above.

Also, I wonder if it has blow holes or dimple tape, is there planned a new fuselage, when will it fly...etc?

Time will reveal all.

18m

If your decision whether to buy depends on whether the wing is blown rather
than having zig_zag tape then you need to "get a life".
The difference in performance between the V3, JS1, ASG29, V2 will be
meaningful to maybe half a dozen pilots in the world. The rest of us mere
mortals would do better to buy an "obsolete" V2cx an spend the extra dosh
on aerotows & practice.

Golly Kevin, not really the response I was looking for. I was hoping someone who had been to the AERO booth and talked to S-H representatives could inform the newsgroup about the technology used in this beautiful new glider. Maybe the boundary layer control method, if there is a new fuselage on the way, any new technologies. My questions are written for brevity and to solicit a probative discussion. Your post not only supposes much which was not written nor inferred, but also stifles discussion, shows your poor reading comprehension and your insecurities. Would it not be best to keep this newsgroup civil, and informative? You do not know anything about me, nor my motivations, why do you feel you can judge me? I do recommend you read "The Four Agreements" it will help open your mind and might even improve you disposition. I hope you take my comments in the positive light they were meant, and I hope your life gets better and the mean spirit within is tamed..
Namaste,
Jonathan

It's not Ventus 3, it's "Ventus Competition" btw.

There was a "Infoblatt" up on Facebook for a short while. Anybody who has saved/captured it?

Funny how the UK dealer has been advertising it has the Ventus 3 in
the last two S&G's. Maybe there are different models? Is there a Ventus
'non competition'?
Anyway from OLC:-

Schempp-Hirth has a “flying� Ventus on display. The brand-new glider
had been secretly refined and developed in Kirchheim and is now
“flying over� the AERO-booth. “You might call it the ‘Ventus 3’,
but
officially this new glider will simply be named ‘Ventus’.� Bernd
Weber
further explains how the new racer’s airfoil has been worked over in
the wind tunnel taking weather models into account to improve the
average speeds while flying cross country. “It will also have a
redesigned cockpit to fit larger pilots as well as the smaller guys. Our
new Ventus is the ideal glider for pilots who want to have more
opportunities or fly competitively.

18M 10.8M2 A/R 30

Nothing about other wingspans yet?
