Any how as regards the original post I reckon the best one between the 27 and the V2 is the one you happen to own (or end up owning) ;-) |

The Ventus 2 has a much softer wing than the Ventus a/b/c and the 27. It is very nice with or without water compared to the earlier Venti.

Ventus 2b vs ASW27b ..Which is the better / nicer aircraft?
Comparison between 27b and V2b:
I flew a Ventus 2B and an ASW 27B. -The Ventus 2b wings are very hard, for me they are too hard to Fl without water. -The 27 wings are softer and more flexible. -Both have integral ballast tanks. -Both have automatic of rudder connection. Ventus 2b has a 4" wheel. 27b has a 5" wheel with a disc brake. (better) The 2b climbs better than the 27b. The 27b had a little better glide ratio, especially at higher speeds. Higher wingloading with less weight then the 2b.(500kg with 9m² to 525kg with 9,67m². The V2b has a ballast tank in the tail. One a very few 27bs have a ballast tank in the tail, but you can install a ballast tank in the fuselage which works a little bit like a ballast tank in the tail fr weight and balance. One of the disadvantages of the 27. I live in Germany and own a LS6, a model. Last saison I had some nice flights in my LS6a with my friend Michael in his 27b. It was a lot of fun and the high price of the 27 is it not worth in comparison with the LS6. TOPIC REPAINTING: Last year we brought our LS4 to Poland for repainting. Because it is a glider of our club, we decided not to take PU. So we choose t35 as paint. Including callsigns and cockpit We paid 7,5k€ without tax. This year we brought the 27b to Poland, we paid 10k€ without tax. Complete in white, without callsigns. In Gemany you pay 50% more. Kind regards, Lukas |

The Ventus 2 actually has a 5" wheel. My Ventus cm is number 107 out of 110, and it is the first Ventus with a sprung 5" wheel.

Ventus 2b vs ASW27b ..Which is the better / nicer aircraft?
You guys are making me feel bad about my recent purchase of a Ventus Ct 🤨
Ok maybe not. It was significantly less expensive then a Ventus 2 variant. Plus my understanding is it's roughly 90% the performance of the V2...? Anyway I'm happy with it at my skill and experience level. As I have never been in a contest, I am considering MAYBE entering a regional contest or sports class competition this year. |

As I have never been in a contest, I am considering MAYBE entering a regional contest or sports class competition this year. This weekend I saw a Ventus C owned by a visiting pilot that had been refinished in PU at Williams. It was beautiful, looked like a new glider from the factory. I am sure that glider has as much fun as any other 15-18 meter glider. The difference between the generations is a matter of a few turns on course, for all but the very top racers. Have fun and fly safe. |

Hi Tango Wisky,
the Ventus 2b has, like the Ventus 2a and all the Ventus before a 4" wheel. Since the Ventus 2c and the Ventus 2bx there is a 5" wheel installed. (The Ventus 2bx has the same fuselage then the Discus 2b and it is newer than the V2b.) |
