Ventus rigging advice, please?
Thanks everyone - I think I've got it cracked now - right wing first, tape
it. Then, the big thing I've learnt is to feel inside the battery rack below the spars. I can now tell, by feel whether the second wing is too high or too low and knowing that makes all the difference. |

Enjoy your Ventus. I'm enjoying mine. Steve |

I can now tell, by feel whether the second wing is too high or too low and knowing that makes all the difference. I put reference marks on the spar butt ends and inside the fuselage that indicate when the correct dihedral angle is achieved. I also using my index finger to feel for a mismatch between the main pin bushings while adjusting the height of the fuselage jack (start low and gradually go up). You can feel even the slightest misalignment. Tom |

..... Or you could swap it for a K6e, John. Never a problem to rigg, and
you would get some change. Keep smiling, Paul H |

I've recently started flying a Ventus2. I can't rig the thing without a lot of struggle. The trouble is, there's a cover above the spars and you can't see anything once the first wing is in. I struggle to get the second wing to fit, never knowing whether it's a bit too high or a bit too low. The ground is uneven and sloping, which doesn't help. I hope some Ventus owners can give me some tips, please? |
