ASG-29 versus Ventus 2CX
wrote in message ups.com... All things being equal (delivery time, price, etc.) which glider would you choose and why? Is there a performance difference, quality difference, ergonomics, etc.? The comparision should take into account 15 meter and 18 meter performance, strong weather and weak weather performance. I think there are so many variables and subjective decisions involved, you'd pretty much need to look at, explore, sit in, and touch and feel the ones you are interested in. I found SSA convention is a good place to start if you're in the US. 'Course it's good to ask on ras what owners or flyers of your prospective ships think + or -. A couple of years back, I read that 75% of new gliders were motorized. Don't know if this has changed with the introduction of some of the popular new "pure" gliders, but I suspect most new ships are still self-launch or sustainer. Since I fly a self-launch, I think I understand why this is so . . . bumper ASH26E (4 years old with no spar profile issues, no gel coat cracks and no reliability issues. If I had to do it again, I'd do it again :c) |

ASG-29 versus Ventus 2CX
Sorry that I haven't good information for you on the differences between
ASG-29 & Ventus 2CX. I am very curious as to the ASG-29 warrantee regarding spar cap as described in recent posts.How do U.S. buyers protect themselves from such manufacturing blunders? I've read many posts on this R.A.S. newsgroup concerning improperly profiled wings on earlier European sailplanes & am wondering if & how manufacturers are held to account. Very Best Regards, Jim Hultman Santa Barbara wrote in message ups.com... All things being equal (delivery time, price, etc.) which glider would you choose and why?
