Default RE: Venus II

My OS 120 has 450 flights on it now ( 2 planes ) and is completely original. I started using CP 20/20 a few years ago and really found a difference ( maybe I'm crazy ) but it has become very expensive here. I have 10 gals. left and when that's gone I may keep the 120 because it is so frugal on fuel but everything else will have to rest up. In anticipation of this I dragged my old 2 meter Typhoon / YS 1.40 down out of the attic to give it one last go. If you think the Venus II flies good you should try this one. Ah but it's too big, too awkward, flimsy retracts, needs a stand all the time and burns twice the fuel of the Venus. But it's one sweet ride.

P.S. Bob I meant to mention that prima donna, supercharged, etc, etc, etc, YS in my Typhoon is 10 years old has a zillion flights ( not all mine ) on it, will pull that 10.5 lb. plane like a freight train and is ALMOST as trouble free as the OS

I also know that the guy I bought this whole issue from 5 years ago is reading this post and wishes he had it back - right Dave
