Hypothetical situation: Same condition Same trailer Same instruments and accessories Which is the better ship for strong western thermal racing conditions? Why? Thanks in advance for those in the know! T Not sure about the v2b, but I flew a ventus c for many years and now own a 27b. *Ventus has a much faster roll rate than the 27b. *27b has a much higher, sprung main wheel. * Ventus has stiffer wings, and therefor a much stiffer ride. *Ventus requires much more attention to pitch attitude to maintain constant speed. *I have broken canopy hinges twice on the Ventus due to side hinge. *I almost melted a Colibri II due to front hinged 27b focusing sunlight on the panel.
