Jamie is "right on" on this one. Irrespective of price the Javelin is head
and shoulders above anything else in the 40 size arena. The Venus is the
most neutral airplane in the class, but the extra 10 inches of fuse length
on the Javelin renders it more pitch stable. I recently crashed my Javelin
due to the antenna breaking off right at the strain relief on the reveiver
and I immediately ordered another as I will not be without a Javelin.Gotta
be the best kept secret in the 40 class ranks.And at a buck-and-a-half
is a better value than many others in class.
<br>I flew the Venus today in 25 mph 85 degree crosswinds and went thru
the Advanced, Masters, and Interemediate patterns all in one flight. It's
got a YS-53 in it and works pretty well. Was it pretty? Not really!( at
least not to me, but one of the onlookers uttered the word" SMOOTH). But
certainly challenging.
<br>The Venus is a really fun plane to fly, but like Ron says I also have
mine set up with patern throws and on low rates it still has a pretty violent
snap.The Venus will fly horizon to horizon knife-edge with your right hand
held above your head holding in only rudder, no roll-couple, no pitch-couple,
and no mix. Utterly amazing. In spite of this I still prefer the precision
of the Javelin. Wonderful little airplane.
