<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I understand the Venus has options for servos in
tail or in wing bay. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Which
location did you use? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How did you get correct balance with the OS 1.20
and stock muffler?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I got 4 flights on the Venus 2 in-between
the squalls this afternoon. That makes for 3 days of flying and the
basic trimming and engine break in is complete.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This model is at 8 1/4 pounds with fut 9202
servos and 1500 NiCad pack. It should be not too hard to get it
down to 8 pounds. This engine is more than enough at this
weight. It is swinging a 15X11 APC with great gusto. I had 30 MPH
winds for one flight today and had no problem. One of the local IMAC
guys called it overpowered; but I aint sure what that means. I am
getting lots of practice moving the left stick forward and back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you have someone looking to try pattern; go
ahead and suggest this model. With a OS91FX or Saito 100/125 this would
be a nice starter plane. It is a very simple plane. Really no
harder to build than a typical 40/60 sized ARF with two wing servos. The
provided 16oz fuel tanks is probably too large. I can
fly intermediate twice and have about 4 oz left. I am
thinking of going for a 10 or 12 oz tank. With a YS110 or OS120AX
it will fly anything in the pattern book.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for the OS120AX, I really like this
engine. It will handle a APC 16X10 and the engine is easy to
adjust. The book does call for a five flight break-in period, which
seemed about right. I started leaning on the sixth flight and it started
singing. I am thinking of designing a Model around this engine. It
should handle anything up to around 9 pounds on the stock muffler. Maybe
the Insight if I can keep it light enough, or the CA epilison
120.</FONT></DIV>
