Schempp-Hirth Ventus 2bx - 15m
Exceptionally clean Ventus 2bx with gelcoat, interior and trailer all in excellent condition. Full energy absorbing cockpit with ample space for tall pilots. Large 5x5 wheel with powerful disc brake.
All ADs and Technical Bulletins complied with. The glider is accident-free. Comprehensive annual inspection September 2020. Brand new CloudDancers all-weather covers plus new canopy cover.
Performance enhancements include Maughmer winglets and Murray fuselage air handler for cockpit venting with 337 installed by composite genius Paul Gains. This is located in the low pressure area behind the cockpit that minimizes airflow escape from unwanted areas, improves ventilation, reduces cockpit noise level and lowers overall drag. Additional special cockpit sealing makes this one of the quietest cockpits flying. Complete leak testing and sealing.
New tires were installed on the trailer in July of 2020, and the trailer currently registered in Colorado and has a certificate of title. Included are full documentation including original flight manual, maintenance manual, all instrument and hardware manuals. Many spares included.
