A Venus II and OS 12.0 AX. Ok. I'm no pro and never professed to be. But, I waited several years before I stepped up into that level aircraft. The intermediate step was the Venus 40. I also had a Tiger 60 then a Four Star 40 well before the Venus 40 and I suggest you think seriously about that first.. But then, you've never really followed advice before. This will be a fun thread to watch.
