The profile of the Venus 2 is still effi...Hi Peter,<br />The profile of the Venus 2 is still efficient in strong head wind to penetrate better and climb when meeting a weak thermal better than most EN-C gliders i have tested.The difference is small ,but i could sense the easiness of cutting through inside those conditions,and on the same ones some NEW EN-C gliders still make a stop or stuck in head wind conditions when meeting a weak thermal.In strong thermals there's no problem,but with broken ones and when you really need to cut and climb those difficult conditions ,the Venus 2 still shines.<br />Cheers,<br />Ziad.Ziad Bassilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160776372320390250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-57265140452740786372011-06-08T10:19:42.620+03:002011-06-08T10:19:42.620+03:00Hi Ziad

I am familiar with Axis so let us take the Axis Venus 2. I noticed that you were very satisfied with the wing so the reason for the choice.<br />Can you compare Axis Venus 2 (previous generation EN D) with the ozone delta or Summit XC2(current generation EN-C). Of course one can make a general comparison (speed, sink, glide) but what I am mostly interested in is the strong head wind performace.<br /><br />ThanksPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770063960579502540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-7917898657701938892011-05-15T19:50:38.801+03:002011-05-15T19:50:38.801+03:00Hi Ziad

...Hi Ziad<br />I like your work very much; thanks a lot!<br />You compared the XC2 with the M4 in a short glide. How was the wind-situation? Have you had head or tail wind?<br />I'm actually fly a peak1 but I'm looking for more comfort in flight for long XC-flights.<br /><br />I wish you good flights & lots of fun<br />Thomastvburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192173692150472610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-78921987635933444272011-04-22T09:07:46.276+03:002011-04-22T09:07:46.276+03:00Hi Peter,
