I think I hold the record for the slowest build of a Venture 60. I started approximately one year ago this very week! I hate to admit it but I'm still not done. I have done a few mods along the way that I have allowed to slow me down. I have limited time to work on it and since starting I have built a couple ARFs and am currently building a workshop to do all my building in. I have promised myself that I won't start another plane until my Venture is done!

Mods:
Dual aileron servos
Clipped wing one bay
Added one inch to rudder
Creating a cowl for the nose (this has slowed me down more than anything else - I can't make up my mind what way I want to do it)
Sullivan tail wheel
Sheeted the turtle deck
Lengthened the turtle deck slightly to move the canopy forward and shorten the nose a bit

For anyone reading this don't think this plane takes a long time to build. My wing framed up in only a couple of nights work. Fuse went together pretty quick as well. Going slow doesn't bother me too much since I know it will be a sweet plane when it is finally done.
