Default RE: GP Venus & .91 4 stroke

Only thing Ptarp is the POWER, Im telling you its going to be so grossly overpowered with a .91 it isnt funny. These things barely weigh 4 pounds, and it just feels VERY light for its size. Im a power junky, I have a Saito 1.20 on my U CAN DO and its a bruiser but this plane with a .91 may not be any fun to fly. The Venus is extremely quick and flies extremely light with a .46, even at that it moves through the air so quickly that its a little tricky to fly. Another great plane to consider for a .91 is a Ultra Sport, its a little antiquated but it makes a good 90 size starter pattern plane. I have one I recovered for a friend that I have been flying, but it weighs about 7 or so pounds with a .91. I still think the Swallow is by far the best bang for the buck with a .91 4 stroke.

The Swallow is made by Giant Scale Planes, It has foam core wings and an airfoil stab. Its a REALLY nice little plane for $200.
