<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">My two planes (Goldberg Obsession and General Hobby Evolution) are holding up very well and I will keep using them next year. I have a Venus II from Great Planes that I have converted over to retracts. The 2 cycle engine is an OS 120 AX and still works great. I used this plane for pattern for a couple of seasons when I first moved here 15 years ago. Then I got the money pit electric bug and it has been hanging up since then.</span>
