Guys, - Joe can't fit a 2-meter plane in his car. That sort of limits his choices. The Venus is fine. You CAN fly Masters with a Venus. Trust me.

Sure, you wouldn't want to compete with it in Masters but Joe's only flying Sportsman right now.
Joe - spend money on fuel and start looking for a larger vehicle. When you get the transportation problem solved THEN look for a 2-meter ship. I don't know if a Focus Sport would make that much of a difference for you butI guess you could give it a try if you have some extra $$.
