The Venture 60 is and will be out of stock for a period of time yet. I did a construction review of the kit for Flying Models magazine well over a year ago. Bruce sold out of the stock of kits he had and asked that the review not be published until he can get another run of kits available. He is very busy doing larger research vehicles for universities and other entities, so I doubt the kit will be available again in the foreseeable future.

Keep in mind that he is a one-man shop and has chosen to make his living with model airplanes. In a circumstance like that, I would be willing to cut him as much slack as possible so he can keep food on the table. As modelers, we still have the benefit of his design skills evidenced in the Four Star series, the Mid-Star, and the other current designs found on his BTE site. The Venture 60 is such a wonderful, labor-intensive kit, that it gets done in periodically by its success!
