I just finished putting together a Venus with an OS 50sx. Now I am just waiting for some decent flying weather.
I picked this plane because the wing plan is very similar to my beloved GP Fun One.
Is any one flying a Venus? What do you think of it?

Seems the OS 50 is the motor as it is what's in my venus!
I've flown mine with a 12x8 prop.
I love this plane, it was my first real plane after my Alpha trainer.
All throws were set per instructions.
It tracks nicely, and you'll drop your jaw when you do a knife edge. It's been a hit at the field!
Geez, what else can I say about it?
Enjoy it!

I too have this plane. I put an OS 70 Surpass II in it turning a 13X6 Prop. I have unlimited vertical and good top end speed. It tracks very well but it requires a little more down elevator while inverted than I had hoped. Overall a good design and fun to fly airplane. I am more into the scale aerobatics that the pattern stuff but I wanted to give it a try. I am sure that you will take great joy in flying this plane. It's just not an Extra in my book!
