I actually have a sliver of experience with this one! I've got the Venus II and loved it so much that I decided to replace my .40 size plane with the Venus 40. I was flying the bigger plane, then switched to flying the little plane, and it's just a huge world of difference! Same plane, manufacturer, assembly process (only the tail moment on the smaller plane is not scaled down) but the big plane is just SO much more stable, handles turbulence better, etc. I think I've flown the small one like 3 days and 10 flights and now have it up for sale.

I can only begin to imagine what the difference between my $280 'pattern style sport plane' and a $1000+ full blown 2m pattern plane would be.

Buddy chord, anyone?
