My 4-meter EMS Ventus by Tim Mattsson

Here is a picture of me launching my 4 meter EMS Ventus 2C. It has 12 servos and is flown with a Futaba 9C. The sailplane has flaps, spoilers, ailerons, rudder, elevator, retractable landing gear, aerotow release and has a variometer. Each wing has 4 servos in it. It weighs 15.5 pounds and on this day, it flew beautifully! Even without much for thermals, the winds were strong enough to maintain unlimited flight!
