Default RE: Great Planes Venus II Engine

At your elevation of about 615 feet an OS .91 Surpass should put out about 10-11 pounds of thrust. That in a 8.5-9.5lb plane would provide good sport porformance, but would not be competitive at all in a contest. You should easily be able to get into the air with an engine that you already own. But later I would bet that you would want more power for the Venus II.
