Wayne,
Thanks for the really good info! Sorry about your Venus. I've had mine since 2003 and it is my "Old Faithful". It is absolutely the best flying plane I've ever had - and I've had over 120! I have a Saito .72 in it and it is a wonderful combination. The plane has almost no coupling, so knife edge is real easy to do. I'm not a 3D guy, but I let one of the guys at our club really wring it out - wow!

Thanks again. Now I know I'll be able to get her back in the air without the packing tape all over the fuselage.

Jim
