Default Ventus bT/cT comparison

Hi everyone,

I fly a Discus bT at the moment and absolutely love it. However, I
am thinking of upgrading to a flapped turbo in the next one or two
seasons and the Ventus bT/cT would seem to be the natural
choice.

I have heard conflicting opinions about the various models:

i) The bT has handling issues and the cT was designed to
overcome these issues, with a bigger rudder and some other
changes. The cT is the model to go for.

ii) The cT has handling issues, can be difficult to bleed approach
energy due to the brake configuration and was not a popular
model, which is why there are so few of them around. The bT is
the model to go for.

iii) The bT and cT perform relatively poorly in 15m mode rather
than their 16.6m (bT) and 17.6m (cT) modes, so competing in
15m mode is not recommended.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Cheers,
Jim
