Ok, Ok, Ok!
This is for all you professional (or wanna be) pattern flyers that are using the OS 120 2-stroke on the Venus ll.
I'd like to have these questions answered since I am just a sport flyer and never mounted any servos in the rear.
If I used the OS 120 2-stroke I need all the recomendations I can get! And all I have to use is a Futaba 4 channel YF with no low or high rates that came with standard 3004 servos.
Muffler or extentions, servo sizes and placements, tank size, and whatever tips I can get to get this silly thing in the air before I send it back to tower and order something that calls for nothing more than an .049 !!!
Please help!

Man your making this whole experience really hard on yourself.
#1 - this is not a "silly" plane. If you feel that way send it back.
#2 - the 120 2 - stroke would be an ideal engine for this plane - but then the .91 4 - stroke you talked about would be fine also.
#3 - I do not believe standand servos would be any good for this plane ( MAYBE on 6 volts ) except on the elev. and then only if you used 2.
#4 - IMHO opinion if you are not ready to up grade some of your equipment I would look at another plane, maybe the .40 size Venus.
P.S. If you already have the kit most of your questioned should be answered in the manual.
