Default Great Planes Venus .40 ARF

Mike, you may want to do a search on here on "venus" as there are several threads on the subject. You will like the plane. The 2 main gotcha's are one of the wing bolts needs cutting off to clear the push rod and double check the engine mounting distance from firewall, you may have to set it back further than spec or add some blocks to the firewall. Its not a 3D plane but does fly very true. Mine is set up now so the low rates equal the high rates in the manual and the high rates are about 50% higher. It will require more down than up elevator and mine is balanced mostly for knife edge flight.
