Venus .40 was lost to make room for the Sequence. Rumor has it that GP is replacing Venus II with a larger Sequence.

Many guys are moving to electric flight (my experience shows more than 50% of pattern pilots fly electric - roughly 80% in D1 and nearly 50% in D4). Thus, planes like the Sebart Wind, the 3DHS Osiris, and other e-powered planes are coming on the market.

These planes are not as 'cheap' as the Venus II, however the engineering and fabrication are of much higher quality.
