Original owner since new. No damage history. Recent flight recorder data shows performance is the same as 1982 Johnson flight test. Johnson flight tested many high performance gliders, but his own was a Ventus. With a no ballast 30:1 L/D at 80 kts you can get there fast. This one has flown multi diamond distance and goal flights in flatland Ohio. Newer tinted canopy in perfect condition. Some minor gel coat cracking on fuselage. Re-profiled wings. Basic flight instruments only. Light weight custom aluminum Cobra trailer can be towed by almost any vehicle.
