Hi Guys.

Sorry I have not read the postings in a couple weeks. After I got back from Austria, I had to head south to Florida and..yep, Wilma.. saw both sides of that damned storm.. we were in Sarasota/Bradenton so we got wind and some rain but not the solid hit like they got in Naples. Then I flew home on Tuesday only to greet the storm of the NJ coast causing some serious issues along the coast.

Anyway, needless to say, I have not flown the Venus since my last report when I encountered the servo problem. As I said, I replaced the servo and am ready to take it up again. The weather is supposed to improve this weekend so hopefully I can burn some fuel.

I have been also working on the Excelleron 90. Expect that will be done by Thanksgiving or so, but going to focus my flying with the Venus for a while to get used to that slippery airframe.

Regarding props.. I forgot what prop I am using right now, I believe it is a 13-6 APC. I have a small collection of props ranging in diameter from 11 to 14 inches and pitch from 4 to 9, and have one 14-10 prop somewhere, but that's not going to be used on anything. Bought it to mount on the Tiger 60 w/Super Tigre 75 and tuned pipe. Probably fly the wings right off that Tiger..ha.

I will get out a flight report after this weekend to let you guys know how it all went for the 'second maiden'.

DS.
