Ventus 2c 1:6 model of the Shempp-Hirth sailplane.
Molded fuse with sheeted foam wings by Baudis Models (available from http://www.topmodel.fr)

Again looks good and flys good.
Had some problems at the start.Stalled very easily and very nastily.Was dissapointed with it.Big thanks to Fred.He advised me to change the incidence angle of the Stab.Added 3mm of balsa and it's like flying a different plane.Thanks again Fred!.May be a common problem?.Seen some people on RCGroups with the same problem.

Nice in light conditions on the slope.Lookin forward to getting a tow!
No winglets in the pics.Got two right winglets with it.All good now

Full Size.Nice!

It's a sweet looking glider. I'd love to get one of those some day when I have some more flying experience.
I have a semi scale glider my self, its a Pilatus B4, around 2 meter wingspan. Have'nt flowen it yet, just finished it. I might post some pictures of it soon.

Hi Alan,

So, to post an Image on the forum (and on most of the forums by the way..) :

You first have to put the image on a website. You can use your own one if you have one, or use a Hosting service such as http://imageshack.us/ that give you a webspace for your image. Choose the 640 x 480 resolution max please, as this is easier to read on the forum.

So, you have your Image URL now, something like :

http://mywebsite/imagename.jpg

On the top of the post, click the Img icon, past the image url, and press ALT P on the keyboard or click on the icon again. et voila !

On the screen, you should have someting like this :

Note that on the top of the little screen where you are typing your message, you have a exemple of the function when you click on the icon.

And here you go !

Let me know if you have any difficulties, and i'll do some screenshots

Hi Joe. Did you get your Ventus directly from Topmodel, or did you get it through a shop in Ireland?
I was looking at the Topmodel website. They have lots of cool scale ships. Some have prity good prices, at least I think they are good prices.
