Venture 60
I got a used Venture 60, which has an engine mount for a Saito .72 four stroke (engine not equipped now). I'm thinking to get an inexpensive .60 size two stroke like OS bushing engine, Super Tiger or Evolution. OS ball baring engine is terrific, but costly. I most likely need a new engine mount, too. I'm a beginner modeler/flyer, looking for tips/advise in selection and installtion of an engine. Appreciate any input.

I flew mine with an ST 61 for some time with excellent results. I tried an ST 75 on it. Really woke it up, but I liked the 61 more so I switched back. An excellent flier and probably the best kit I'll ever build. All kits should be this good!

RE: Venture 60
Thanks for your tips. I got a Magnum 61xls from a local shop. The existing mount is hopeless to use, so I removed it. I have a Great Planes plastic mount (midium size) and am on the way to install it. Hope it's going to work out okay.
