I have a Ventus 2.9  M, Drifter II, Sterling Diamant Sailplane, Easy Built Models Gremlin, Windrider Bee 2, and House Of Balsa 2X4.
The Ventus is the fanciest of them all, spoilers, retracts, aerotow, ailerons, rudder, and elevator.

Was given to me in 1981 with the wings already built and covered. The glass fuse had not been worked on at all. Finished it up and I cannot tell how much I enjoyed flying it. It had 11ft wingspan (132in), flat straight wings, and would  fly in as little as 5 mph where I flew it. We have an on show breeze every day in SoCal from the ocean and the place I fly has a perfect geological shaped cresent moon hill facing the west about 50miles from the ocean. Most days in the afternoon the air funnels perfectly from the west to east right up the bowl. Awsome place to fly
 
Currently have 2 Explorer 2m's in flying condition that i fly there now.

In the wings are
A Sophisticated Lady with power pod, built, not flyable right now  Another NIB
An orginal Bob Martin Talon NIB
A Dynaflight version of Bob Martins Talon NIB
An original 1 of 100 NIB Bob Martin SR-7 Limited Edition signed and numbered #45 by Bob martin himself. This one has the fiberglass fuse instead of the duralene fuse.
Astroflight ASW 15 Plastic Fuse and Plans

I plan to use the SR-7 and ASW-15 fuses to make molds for reproducing them.
