Ventus C, 15m vs 17.6m
Just curious, how is the performance of the Ventus C with 17.6m tips installed versus standard 15m with good winglets?
I have done some searching and seen some consensus that the 16.6m tips are typically not used much due to the performance degradation at high air speeds. But what about the 17.6 tips? Expected conditions would be soaring in Florida. I also fly Utah, but not thinking I'd need the extra L/D in Utah unless on a weak day. Also are the 17.6 tips available? What would a set of 17.6 tips cost? Thanks, Mike
