Maidened the new Venus II today. Or I should say a Master level pattern flier maidened it for me. It was really sweet, right out of the box. With low rates, it needed a slight amount of up elevator and right aileron, and could use a little more right thrust but otherwise flew beautifully! Had some vibration from something in the plane at a certain rpm so I'm going to go through it and check all the connections and mounts and make sure there isn't anything loose first. Then I plan to fly it myself for the first time tomorrow.

Went with a APC 15x8. Scott suggested I go with a 17x6 or 17x8 APC, which he's going to let me have one of tonight. Says it'll slow it down a little and provide more braking in down lines.
