Ventura- new Quique Somenzini design
Hey guys,
I just saw on Oxai's website where they have put up the page for Quique's new design for this year's WC, the Ventura. Check it out!

I don't want to hijack this thread... so please PM if you have an answer.
Does anyone know if one can buy those center "cabane" struts that hold the top wing to the fuselage? I don't mean those particular one's that are for the Ventura - but for any 2M size bipe will do.

Long nose makes sense to get equivalent dinamic balance with the glow. This is good sign because means that the plane is really design for electric motor that is much lighter than the glow versions.

These things just keep getting cooler. I guess it is that time for the WC aircraft to begin getting unveiled. Today we got JAS' and QQ's. We've seen Jesky's Spark. Can't wait to see the rest. Looking forward to seeing the Japanese team aircraft.

Looks kind of retro to me.

For me is the same plane with a different color scheme. Maybe the tail group (rudder) is a little smaller is his new design.

Vince,
The nose is not longer at all. It has the same moment as the Euphoria. The chin cowl is not removable on this airplane, so that may contribute some to any illusion you have of the nose being longer. Also, the empennage is a little smaller, contributing to any optical illusion. Otherwise, they're the same airplane, only the Ventura is built solely for electric power.
I have some pictures of the airplane completed that I am trying to find to post on here. My first impression was that it was a Euphoria with new colors. The Oxai pictures are taken at odd angles that you normally don't see an airplane at while at the field, as well as the airplanes not being finished in these pictures.

Sarah Jessica Parker is pretty to some men but to me she's always been bigtime ugly. It's all in how you see it.
It's strange how many times I've seen a plane or say a car and initially I hate it. Then over time I somehow grow to like the looks.
I didn't initially like the Spark but after seeing it fly and seeing it at the field I've grown to like it. Initially I wouldn't have thought that was possible.
QQ's new plane is sharp. I my eye's its different and beautiful. Mike

I couldn't have said it better, Mike.
FWIW, I hated the Spark at first, but it's grown on me. And Sarah Jessica Parker is hideous.

That's why there's vanilla and chocolate. Beauty is in the eye of beholder.

This plane is useing a RASA folding prop and a Plettenberg motor. I really don´t know if this will be the set up he will be useing in WC Portugal.
