RE: Venus II
I maidened the Venus II today and flew 3 flights between rain showers.
It flies very well with only a click or two of trim required. I'm glad i went with the 1.20AX in the end. All that power is addictive and i probably wouldn't have been as pleased with my original plan of using a Webra .91.
By the end of the 3rd flight, my new plane jitters had gone and i was really comfortable with it. I put it through a few sportsmans class manouvers and i performs very well. I'm looking forward to entering some comps with it.
With a 15x10 it's almost too fast and it climbs to the moon. I really had to work on the landings. The plane wants to float forever and bounce on down the runway.
I tried the suggested spoilerons and they work a treat. With them the plane sinks nicely with no change in pitch and sticks to the runway like there's velcro on the tires.
The toe-out gave no problems at all.
Another happy Venus II owner.
