Nice little factoid!

Go with the Venture 60. Bruce designed the 4 * 60 when he was with SIG. He corrected the problems with the Venture. I did the maiden on one of our club members Venture yesterday. It flies so much better than any 4 * I have ever flown.

Paladin, if you do some searches on the Venture, you'll see that you can bash the snot out of it, just like the Sig 4*60. Also, you'll see that with just a little bit of extra work, the Venture can be made to look even better than it already does. Personally, I think the Venture looks better than the 4*.
Check out some bashed Ventures. You might like the look a lot better. Sometimes simply adding a cowl can make a plane look totally different.
