Well I finally finished my Venus and got it flight worthy. Still needs a Venus III logo on the side of the fuse. With the canopy forward their is little coupling during knife edge. The Syssa wasn't pulling like it was last year thou it was 95 out today and really humid. But plenty of pull for sportsman practice. Canopy forward added some weight to the nose. I am running a A123 right over the cg and their is plenty of room to move the battery back. The Saito 125 was a better engine for this plane. They seems to have the same power as the Syssa with more weight so verticals are not as strong. Fun to fly and much less work on the stick than my Extra of course.
