<DIV style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"><DIV>My 2 cents</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The 40-50 sized planes are fun but I do not find practicing with them is of much use.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do find the 90 sized birds to be of more use. The Excelleron90 and Venus 2 are useful to me; especially for the manevers I find more difficult. I more comfortable and better to concentrate on hard stuff when I have less money at risk.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial" color="navy" size="2"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Hi, I’m trying to practice PO7 with a Venus / OS46FX combo. The airplane will do the maneuvers easily, and some of the maneuvers look pretty and are fun, but when it comes to box, constant speed, presentation….etc.etc. It is obvious why bigger with power is better. The question I’m trying to get at is what the experienced guys say they would expect to get out of practicing with a small aircraft? My feelings are that I’m learning the basic control inputs and maneuver sequence and flow, but believe me….the 2m bird will be exclusive soon. As good as the Javelin, Venus, Freestyle fly….how much value are they to our practice routines?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

He bought another one just because he liked it so well. I didn't fly it so can't make any real comments other than it looks very solid in the air.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
