Default Scale fuse for Jr Venture?

Hello I may be getting a JR Venture 30 in a trade. My question is are there any readily avaliable scale fueslages for this model? I would be interested in a Bell 222, UH 1d or MD 500. I have two Raptors and am building a Titan soon, so I probablly will not fly this if not as a scale ship. I have read some reviews and it seems that th OS 32 is underpowered for this kit. Will this engine give good scale flight with the added wiegth? Thanks

you can buy the century 500e body from here in america. www.centuryheli.com if you order it from that site you will play twice as much, but....they carry the jetrangers and bell 222's that century does not carry at the moment

Seems most fuses for the jr line are limited to the hughes 500d series or other hughes bodies, i guess because they have a belt drive, i want a huey uh-1b/d for mine or an airwolf, which means i will either have to modify the fuse or change my belt to a direct drive. and i would like to keep it the way it is. unless you go to vario(way too much out of my pocket) or starwood(same prob as far as $$) my heli is the jr z230 gasser. ken

111nelly,

Your pic looks like Thundertigers MD500 Defender with Raptor 60 mechs. The Century Hughes is a little different.

Interesting that he said all that regarding that heli.

If you decide to approach him here is some info

Hughes 500 MD Defender
Part #TTR4843
Prepainted in OD Green
Made for Raptor 60-90 mechs.

I'm building SWAT Team one for sale when completed so it jumped out at me when you said it was a Century fuse.
