<DIV>Venus II is, hands down, a better airplane, IMHO, than the
Showtime. I've had both. Venus II with the right engine (OS 1.20
AX, Saito 1.25, or YS 1.10) tracks very well and feels locked in.
Showtime never did, nor did it to my Dad, so I sold it. Venus II
comes with pattern sized surfaces, unlike the Showtime, and is VERY
light. I plan to use my Venus II for practicing next years pattern, it
is that good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If he buys a Venus II, have him put the servos in the tail; there is an
option to put them in the main bay or in the tail. They tend to be a
little nose heavy. Use a high torque digital on the rudder, and two
smaller digitals (eg, JR 9411SAs on the elevators). I put the rudder
servo in the tail, and used DEPs for the elevators, and ended up
putting the battery about halfway back to the tail, behind the wing, and still
needed some ballast in the tail.</DIV></DIV>
