Don't feel bad Bob I have been working 400 miles above the Arctic Circle since Sept and won't get outa here until July. It was -45 degree here yesterday and doesn't get consistently above freezing until late June. Finally after 15 years of working here 8 - 10 months of the year I'm going home ( Nova Scotia ) for good this summer

I guess we got a little off track from Buddies original post but it's all Venus II related and if he reads between the lines I guess by now he'll gather that for the money this is one sweet plane. Unless they come out with a bigger version I'll buy another if mine ever gets retired or dorked

Oh as I got up this A.M. I remembered which switch I use on the transmitter. The 8103 has a "landing" switch into which you can program all kinds of neat things like flaps, spoilers, retracts, elev. offset, etc. I just throw this switch and everything happens automatically. Of course if your flying with Futaba Junk you may not have all these features.
