It's been a long time since I posted in this particular forum. I bought a Venus II last year, my posting is right at the beginning. Mine is powered by an OS 1.20 AX. This makes a fine pair up. I am also using the Spektrum DX7 radio system. All servo's are high-torque with the exception of the throttle servo, which is standard fare.

As you can see, my Venus has been flying now for over a year and it is still flying just great. The pattern pro in our club, Ron Lockhart, flew it a couple of months ago. He re-suggested that I seal the aileron gaps, so that's my next project. I've been somewhat preoccupied lately with knee surgery followed by an infection that developed, followed by a trip to England (work) after all was well. Not much flying going on that's for sure. So, I must tackle that little chore. It flys great the way it is, but he promisses that it will really improve performance with the gaps sealed. So, I'll get to that.

I also have an Excelleron 90 with the OS 1.20 AX and it too flys just great. The big difference between the two is that the Excelleron 90 has pull-pull everything back there where the Venus II has Sullivan Carbon Rods for control. Both do well.
