with OS120AX<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial,sans-serif">
<DIV>What a nice combination. I am surprised how well this combination
flies considering the smaller size of the model.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The OS120AX is a sweet engine. OS is calling to run it rich for 5
flights before really leaning it out. I ran it rich enough to have a
visible exhast trail which I normally do not do for a 2 stroke. I am using
the 15X11 APC from my YS110 for the break in prop. This prop is in the
middle of the recommended prop range. This engine has a lot of power even
using the stock muffler. Once I can lean out the engine, I think I will
try a 16X10 APC which is the prop I ran on my YS140FZ. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Venus 2 looks nice. The covering scheme is the same as the
Venus40. I basiclly assembled the model per the directions with the
exception that I glassed the center section of the wing after assembling
it. I used the stock hardware and put Fut 9202 servos in it, as I had a
plane full of them sitting in the parts bin. I was very surprised the
model flies very well. It seems ti have a very small amount of pitch to
the canopy in knife edge. It flies a lot like the runaround I used to
have, maybe a little better. My runaround had a tendence for the nose to
start hunting when you slowed down the plane. I have not seen the tendence
with the Venus 2. Vertical is sufficient with the OS120AX which
means it will go straight up until it runs out of fuel.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A local club member watching the first flight, commented that he was
thinking of trying pattern and was going to go order a Venus2. Thats a
good idea.</DIV>
