Yeah. That would be rediculous. I flew it three times today after struggling to get it running reliably (the engine's fine, I'm stupid - should have read Troy Newman's tuning instructions here BEFORE running it not after!!!).

There's only one word to describe the power of a poorly tuned YS110 in a Venus II - BEAST!!! I'm actually scared to find out how it runs when I tune it properly!!! Serioulsy, the 140 would be WAY overkill. With the 110, stock muffler, and three HITEC 5645M's in the tail, it balanced perfectly, right on 6.5", runs for over 12 minutes slobering rich on 16oz. fuel, and only weighs 8lbs 7.5oz.
