Any V2C drivers out there --
I'm reading the "Use of wing flaps" section of my V2C manual and there is a table (page 4.5.3.3) with flap settings (L, +2/+1, -1, -1, -2, S, S1) in the second column and speeds to fly for various gross weights in columns to the right. The first column is the "Use of flaps for" description. The row that begins with "Best L/D" also has "-1" for the flap setting. I hate to make assumptions, but can I assume that should be "0"? It will be a lot of fun when I pick the glider up this Saturday to find it has two "-1" settings and no "0" ![]() 2NO 304CZ^H^H^H^H^HVentus 2C |

Greetings:
For the last five years, and until very recently I owned Ventus 2c serial number 51. A friend owned a Ventus 2c with a serial number in the low thirties. His owner's manual says best L/D is obtained with a flap setting of 0. My owner's manual says best L/D is obtained with a flap setting of -1. In comparing the two manuals, as best as I can remember, it did not appear that the difference was attributable to a "typo". My sense, (i.e., only a guess) was that Schempp-Hirth did some additional testing and updated their owner's manual to reflect new flight test findings. John O. Graybill |
