Planing test - Chasing air

FlyNano proto is planing on the edge again! Weather was not optimal and Nano's airspeed was still slightly too slow (~60km/h). Our next test will be as soon as we have nice calm weather. This Finnish autumn weather is sometimes surprising. Luckily it has stayed warm so we don't expect ice cover on our testsite yet :) Thanks for all the comments from You !

E-motor mounted

The new electric motor has now been mounted properly and it was running nicely in our test site's hangar. There's still some adjusting work with prop blades. We'll also integrate the accelerator handle with the control stick before the water taxi tests next week.

It's great to get back to the lake!
