Default RE: Venus II

Hi All,

Just wanted to comment on the throw rates for a Venus II, as some are asking about it.

I have built 4 Venus II's and have thousands of flights altogether with the 4. I also lent my Venus II to a friend and newcommer all last summer. He tought himself well on the Venus and is now flying a 27%. I have trained numerous people on it as well. In my opinion the rates the manual calls for are perfect!! I would not change a thing! The elevator will have extreme authority on high rates. Also I have the CG right in the middle of the range the manual calls for and it is perfect as well. I also have to say of all the models i have built the instructions for the Venus are the best i've seen, although i do make a few modifications myself.

For anybody who intends to fly glow power in this size range and have not bought a Venus II, do yourself a favor and get one! As you try different planes in other size ranges, you will remember the Venus to be the finest model in this range.

Enjoy!
