2 rolls, did your venus really end up almost 8 lb? I have one stock with OS 70II and huge 1800 nicad, and it came out a little less than 5 1/2?? Typo?? If that's not a typo, and it's stock, I'd be lobbying for a replacement. You should be able to put a 1.60 on it and be <8. that should pull pretty good ;-)

I'll cast my vote for the venus... Best small pattern plane I've ever flown.. My dream is a 2m Venus.. I wrote GP begging for a 120 size, maybe they'll do it one day.....
