I had a Venus .40. Lost it to a radio glitch.
Very hands free flying...almost no coupling on knife edge etc.
Flew mine with an Irvine .53...plenty.
Patten capable and sporty.

I currently have a Cermark Javelin II.
LOVE IT! High quality, pattern lines, super pattern-like flying.
I pattern competitor test flew it for me and was extremely impressed...he thought it handled
more like a .60 size ship. Mine has a YS 63.
Only cost $150 for the ARF...most folks at the field are in awe over the beautiful
blue sparkle covering.

This is a picture of someone else's model.
