Hey guys. I just found this thread. I built my Venus II about three or four years ago doing a re cover and converting it to electirc, plus a few other mods while I was at it. I haven't flown it much, but kind of re discovered it this summer. I had it out a while ago and said to my self "You've got to fly this thing more often!" Already practicing the 2010 Intermediate (proposed) Pattern sequence. With my 3300 mAh battery I can just squeeze in the sequence if I don't fly it too big. I don't want 5,000mAh batteries (tried it once and could really notice the weight), so I'm thinking about 3,800's or 4,000's. Using 50-65-450kV Ammo, Phoenix 85 ESC, APC 17 x 8 prop.
