RE: Venus 40 VS Zen 50?
I've had a venus 40 since they came out.
It's been one of the best flying planes I've ever owned. I have an OS 61 sf in the front and it's got enough power to impress.
I'm really happy with it, and the only reason I don't fly it these days is I now have my 2m ship.
But if I didn't have that I'd still be flying it.
Brilliant little plane.
