By the end of January, 2001 eleven wings and fuselages have been built by two specialized companies. All models are equipped with RC components, six of them with complete drive sets. Time was getting short, because already mid February the big adventure has been starting: Flight to Nepal and further on into the Kali Gandaki Valley under the famed Annapurna peak, miles of trekking over passes 4,300 metre high towards the Tibetian border where the campaign will start by the end of February. The team will then proceed down the valley, flying at various locations. The lower they come, the stronger the wind will be. At Marpha, afternoon wind strength peaks may reach 100 km/h. Wolfgang Schaeper agreed to start flying up to 65 km/h wind, hoping not to crash too many of the precious models.
