The final bits (finishing wiring, determining the Center of Gravity, installing all the bits in the right place and programming the transmitter) are always a lot of work. But now it’s done and the Ventus is ready to maiden. I’m very happy with the final weight: 4.65kg, nicely under the 5kg target I set myself. With a 4.5m wingspan I expect it to be a real floater and easy to make hand starts.

I’ll be pretty busy with other things in the next week, but hope to maiden it as soon as possible. 🙂
