On 28 March 2007 Tilo Holighaus started with the Ventus-2cxa on the airfield Hahnweide to the first flight. This Ventus-2cx variant differs by the smaller "a-fuselage" adapted to the 18m span. Numerous spectators admired that elegant silhouette, which circles over the Hahnweide near Kirchheim. Tilo Holighaus could intensively test the flight characteristics in the spring thermals and he was just as enthused by the flight characteristics as the spectators at the ground of the appearance od this wonderful glider. The variant with the "a-fuselage" has tradition as an option by our airplanes and is first of all the choice for engaged competition pilots of the 18m class, if this pilot bring along the suitable body size in addition. The Ventus-2cxa has a fundamentally new, longer "a-fuselage" with larger tail unit optimized for a 18m sailplane. Apart from this clear improvements concerning security, comfort and visibilities will have also slightly taller pilots more place in this cockpit.
