After over 6 months on the building board i have finally found the time to finish my Venus II and plan to maiden her tommorrow, weather permitting.

I was planning to use my Webra .91 but decided to go with the 1.20AX instead. I'm using a Turbo-Jett muffler which fits completely within the cowl. I used Dubro ball links on all control links and made my own pseudo carbon push rods by using some carbon tube over 4-40 threaded rod glued in with a small amount of gorilla glue. These are much stiffer than the metal rods and only add a few grams of weight.

Servos are Futaba 9255's on the Ailerons and Elevators, 9151 on the Rudder. Power is provided by a PowerBox DigiSwitch and Fromeco 2600mAh LiOn pack.

The dry weight is 3,900gm (8.59lb)

The balance came out almost perfect. I only needed 15gm (1/2oz) of lead weight near the tail wheel to get it on the reccomended CofG.

one thing that concerns me is that the landing gear has quite a bit of toe-out and i'm wondering if this will effect the taxiing at all?
