Joe,

Thanks for the excellent advice on the planes. On your Venus, which engine did you use? The OS 1.20AX 2-stroke or the 1.20 Surpass 4-stroke? I have a couple of 1.20 4-strokes I could use.

I have a ton of lipo and A123 battery packs in the basement, so perhaps an electric would work for me. I could probably get away with running 8S A123 packs in the Helios, or serially double up some 3S 2700 mAh Lipo's in the Angel.

Good point on the Fliton planes. I didn't know if the larger ones were a bit more stout. The smaller ones are excellent performers, but are very light and fragile.

Since I LOVE the smell of glow fuel in the morning I will look at one of the smaller 63-size planes for the Magnum 91fs. If I think of it as a YS .63 that weighs 6 oz more and will swing a larger prop I will be successful.

A friend had the Focus I and it was just about perfect. I am sure the smaller Focus Sport is also phenomenal.

Pete, PM sent.
