Ventus-2c FLIGHT MANUAL
Water ballast is dumped from the fin tank through an opening on the lower side of
the fuselage tail boom, adjacent to the rudder.
The fin tank dump valve is linked to the torsional drive for the valves in the wing
panels, so that all three tanks are always opened simultaneously.
The time required to dump the ballast from a full fin tank is about 90 seconds, i.e.
draining the fin tank always takes less time than discharging full wing tanks.
