//Set FlameSuit on

That is a crock. The Venture has the tightest control system I have seen out of the popular 30 size plastic helis. I have not seen a Raven yet so no comment.

But the blade grips on my Venture were so tight that it was one of the reasons I sold my Raptor and got the Venture. If I recall correctly the article talked about making pitch readings with the flybar perfectly perpendicular. I did not see anything about the blade grips. Feel free to refresh my memory if I am wrong but I did NOT encounter what was in that rather weak article.

Regarding the swashplate it is a very tight unit. Of the plastic ones I have seen it takes the cake. I had 3 gallons on mine when I sold it and it was still as tight as the day I pulled it out of the box.

Rotordoc,
There are good helis out there that are not in the Century lineup. You seem to make alot of cavalier statements about every heli out and then load up for the Century sales pitch. Chill out. Your enthusiasm towards Century is fine but you cannot make them out to be the ONLY good heli line. And they are not. Each manuf has their own flagship.

To even the score up I will let you know that I like the Falcon SE v2. As I matter of fact I like it so much that I ordered one yesterday! I am not bashing you but just providing some critism to your messages. To biased and opinionated.

Give JR some time to streamline the Venture series. They are soon to become the replacement for the entire Ergo line and JR will make them into quality refined ships.
