I am in the process of building (assembling) a Venus II for the same purpose that you mention. So far these are my observations:

[ul][*] Excellent instructions.[*]All the parts are laser cut and the fit is perfect they did a great job gluing the joints.[*]Very neat covering all the edges sealed very well. They use standard MonoKote.[*]Unlike many ARFs this plane comes with high quality american hardware I did not have to replace anything.[*]All the control surfaces were pre-sloted so doing the hinges was very fast and accurate.

I'm taking photos as I go and may do a build thread.
