Hi Rick, no I haven't worked on it lately, having in the meantime assembled the Seagull Super Decathlon and having just finished the Seagull Ultimate, still trying to get the smoke to work properly on that one. Problem with the muffler/header taps that I have to get sorted out.

Unfortunately, on the road now for work, and not returning home until 7/14, and I will have a Focus Sport to assemble when I get back.

The reason for this is that my beloved Venus II, which I had totally refurbished over the winter, was taken out in a mid-air collision during a pattern contest. Engine, electronics and hardware survived for the most part, but the plane was a goner. Nobody's fault, just one of those things, and I am really happy that Ken Velez was able to land his beautiful electric pattern ship despite having no rudder and only a partial fin.

I really liked the Venus II, but after hundreds of great flights with it I got my money's worth, and it is time to move on to another pattern bird.
