Hi all, I've just started putting together a Venus and need help. It looks like I'll be ironing out wrinkles for a few hours, looks good other than that.

I've got a YS45re, it needs new bearings. The tank is 270cc (9.3oz), that will be too small I'm guessing. I'm thinking of the Tetra 400cc(13.8 oz). I want it mounted near the CG. What is a good prop for this combo? Will the Tetra check valve work with this engine? I've got two fuel fittings on the pump, how do I plumb this setup? any suggestions for a fuel dot? I've never run this engine and don't have any info on it. The kit comes with a 2" plastic spinner, does anyone make an aluminum spinner that would work with the appropriate size APC prop?

I've got a 7C radio with the digital servos. Plan on using an HS81 for the throttle. The reciever came with a 600 mah battery, is this enough for the servos? I rarely fly more than 4 flights in an outing.

I bought this because of all the good flight reports on it, it's my first arf. Now I've got to get another kit for the build pile. I will most likely be getting the GP Extra 300 .60 size or HOB P51 .20 size.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Thanks, Mike
