ICARE

Both of these scale beauties are replicas of the Shempp-Hirth line of high-performance gliders. Designed around the sleek fuselages of the Discus 2B frame, the Ventus 2C comes in two wing platforms. The 2.5-meter sports a three-polyhedral-break wing with high aspect, drag reducing winglets. The kit parts come finished with sheeted foam and Oracover-covered wings. The 3-meter version comes completely finished; its state-of-the-art hollow-core molded wing incorporates flaps, and optional retractable landing gear is available. Both models feature removable elevator and a detailed cockpit. Specs 2.5m/3m. wingspan-98/118 in.; wing area-442/465 sq. in.; weight-39/45 oz.; $319/$529.
