RE: Venus II
It will also help to fine-tune your CG. Perfect is when flying inverted it takes just a touch of push to fly level, which for my Venus is around 6-3/4". If you typically land with about 30% of your fuel remaining, then you might want to balance it with that much fuel in the tank. This will guarantee the most optimal angle of attack when landing.
If you haven't tried the spoilerons yet, do so. They will make you a believer.
