Default RE: BTE Venture 60

Thank you for the compliment on the color scheme. It was a long time ago, but as I recall, I used Monokote metallic gold/metallic charcoal. The stripe was top flight striping. I used dual aileron servos, pegged the firewall and landing gear block. I often woundered what it would have looked like with a Saito Golden Knight engine. I considered putting the servos in the rear. I'm glad that I didn't as it balanced perfectly with no additional weight added. It was a nice flying airplane and a dream to build and land. It was somewhat underpowered with the FX .61, but I was flying at an altitude of 5,000+ ft altitude in Wyoming. There are schemes which are easier to see in the air. Good luck with your build!
