Great Planes products are not available in Europe???
I love my Venus and came out very light and strong 4lbs 15oz. Its a terrific plane and flies great, for example it does an amazing knife edge spin and also TRs a bit even when very noseheavy, I cant wait to see how it flies now that I moved the CG aft according to the new manual.
The only things that could be better are somewhat bigger elevators and also larger ailerons both in span and chord for 3D, and of course get rid of the ugly pink wing/stab bottoms - I recovered mine in yellow.
GP needs to do one like this at 65 inches, 7.5-7.75lbs, 780-800 square inches, bigger surfaces and of course no more pink monokote.
APD:
I figured out a way to mount the wheelpants. Ill post some pictures later on. Basically it involves cutting a rectangular slot in the pants so the gear leg goes inside.
Starting from outside the wheelpant.
Pant wall.
Bolt/axle.
Wheel.
Nut (Locktited to Bolt/axle and with enough space for the wheel to roll)
Gear leg.
Second pant wall.
Washer.
Locknut.
Pics later.
