Default Which Kit?

Since this is the prime building season I was wanting to start on my second kit. My flight instructor has suggested a Goldburg Tiger 2, but I was really interested in the BTE Venture 60. From the reviews I've read this seems to be a much better kit. Any suggestions?

The Tiger II uses a .40 -.46. The Tiger 60 uses a .6o. The Venture 60 uses a .60. If you have a .40 -46 you'll need to get a new engine for the Venture.

In either case, especially since it is only your second kit, I would strongly recommend that you go with the Tiger. It is a MUCH easier build, and an airplane that is an excellent second plane that is also capable of almost anything.

I built a Tiger 60 for my second plane and it went together wonderful. The plans and instructions are great with pictures for almost every step.

once you build the Venture 60,then all other kits will look second best,the Tiger 60 is a nice plane ,but the Venture 60 is the Rolls Royce.My .o2's.
