Default RE: Venus II

I’ve completed and maiden my Venus and it’s time for a report.
Over all I’m very pleased with the results. I used some tips I found in this thread regarding fuel system setup (thanks Codfish) and as can seen in the pictures below the result is a clean, efficient and light setup.
I put some efforts to make it as light as possible and the result us really good. No weights to compensate for a heavy muffler upfront, no pilot figure and even a small throttle servo. Fuel tank is close to the CG. Overall weight is a little less than 4 kg. The result is a great F3A plane which is joy to fly.
