Anyone seen a Venus like this? The cowling looks like a factory two piece and the covering is obviously factory done. It's blue and white on the bottom. Canopy seems different too.

That looks an awful lot like an Excelleron.

I had an Excelleron 90 about 5 years ago or so and it flew fine once I went through the trimming process and got the expo dialed in.
