Hi,
Can anyone recommend which plane to chose ?

Thanks in advance
Brian

No offence Brian, but maybe you get better answer on modern Pattern Forum = [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_101/tt.htm]HERE[/link]

I think this side is for Classic Pattern planes...... (pre 1996 RC pattern flying in this forum)

Thanks mate, no offence taken.

Ps. I guess that nowadays you are enjoyng the most wonderful long flying weekends.

Yes Brian, long days.... lots of sun.... Come and enjoy northern Europe...

It's been nice and toasty as you can see.... (note that temps on map are for morning)

Well i have the tojeiro 140 and the pipe tunnel is inside the plane. so you really need a header and pipe designed for it. Can you say it looks like it was designed with a ys and a hatori pipe and muffler. The build on mine has been pretty fair so far. replacing the wing and stab tubes and the landing gear with carbon ones. same thing with the elevator linkages. The supplied bell crank was real flexible so i replaced it with a MK bellcrank. And am using kevlar pull for the rudder. never used kevlar before. just trying it out hopefully it will work. I flew the smaller Venus fore someone and it flew real nice. infact i bought the venus and the venus II now i just have'nt gotten either one out of the box yet. Someones earlier comment. about going to the regular pattern site is a good one as there is a tojeiro thread there already.

Thans for the info. I own a venus 40 with a YS 63 FZS on it and it flys great. What I was really curious was , as you mentioned, the level of craftsmenship of the kit.
Cheers

Cannot speak for the 90. But the 140 wing and stab tubes fit pretty loose. seems like the fiberglass sockets are std. size and the tubes are metric. That was why i replaced them with the carbon tubes. The fit was perfect on the carbon tubes. Replacing the glass gear with carbon just to save about two ounces. The control horns seem pretty nice and solid as supplied. in fact i used them for the rudder linkage. I used 6-32 bolts for the aileron and elevator halves. Easier for me to drill one accurate hole instead of having to line up three with the supplied horns. As far as the wood it is lazer cut and seems fairly accurate. i had to work on the stab locating pins in order to line up 90 degrees to the rudder. The wheel pants and tires are small as supplied. if you fly off pavement you will be fine with them. I went with the bolly pants so i can run 3 inch Dave Brown lite flite wheels. The covering is a nice scheme. so i am hoping it will show up nice in the air. will add a huge checkerboard to the bottom of the wing. to help with orentation in the air.

Like i said earlier i have not taken the Venus out of the box yet. Just trying to get the Tojeiro together in time for the rest of the contest season

I thought it was pre 1976?

It's July and it still drops to 60 degrees at night? Hardly gets warm in the day? Need a coat year round! No thanks!

Hi Sport_Pilot,

As for year banner says some how 1996, for weather we been extremely nice for this summer and we can fly almost whole day with sunshine (~18hrs...)
