Rcfan,

I too decided on the Venture but at the last minute my finances became a problem. Comparing the 2 the Sig came out to be like $40 cheaper give or take a little.
Right now as it stands this kit wont fly until sometime next year, but hey I got something to do when it gets to cold outside to fly.

I think we excahnged messages on previous threads about what kit to get.
All the stuff about the pushrods on the 4 * is true, complete plastic rod junk. I will replace them with steel rod for sure.

As for the landing gear, the main gear looks fine actually looks heavy duty to me. I think as long as there are no major hard landings it should be fine. The tail gear looks a little on the weak side, I will probably replace it.

Everything else looks great, most of the laser cut parts appear to be precise and very high quality.
Other than the couple of problems mentioned in the first part of the thread, everything is great.
I will know more as I start building.
