The lead balls should enter the nose tip as far forward as possible. A much simpler solution is offered by the cast trim weight # 26950001, which is available especially for VAYU. Now mount the GRP centre rib together with the attached GRP nose and the wings. Place the model on a centre of gravity scale and set the centre of gravity to 52 mm.

Always start the VAYU in the take-off flight phase. The VAYU can be launched effortlessly from the hand. To do this, throw the VAYU loosely, slightly downwards, and give it a short time to pick up the necessary speed. Throwing too hard or throwing upwards often leads to unsuc- cessful launches.
