Woodscra,

I think it is a similar to the Sceadu sitiuation. It is designed as a 50. So, greater size and more stable in the 30 state. But, witht the OS .32 SX-H it is slightly underpowered.

In tumbles you have to be conservative. Can't rip them tight and fast. Although, it is a very clean flying ship with alot of promise. Which is why I bought it to do a 50 conversion to it. I like it more than my Raptor. I have flown the Hawk IV and the Sceadu. It flies as clean as the Sceadu but with a little more power.

I have decided to stick with my 60 and sell the Venture off. Although, I really like this heli and recommend it to beginners. But if you want it to 3D with some reserve power then a 46/50 is recommended. Notice the "reserve" power keyword.

Don't know, maybe the Hirobo .36 on a pipe is the way to go.

Oh, yeah on the conversion I would expect Horizon to bring in the rest of the Venture line. (ie Venture 50,60,90) So, there will probably be a 50 conversion sometime in the future.

Until then you will have to follow the plans that ColeopTer at runryder did. Do a search over there. It is a fairly simple mod if you are creative.
