HobbyKing® ™ Venus 0.40~0.46 Glow Trainer 1700mm Balsa (ARF) (US Warehouse)

Description

The HobbyKing® ™ Venus is a traditional, nice quality, super tough and very practical glow powered trainer that can be configured as either tricycle undercarriage OR as a tail-dragger!

The Venus is nicely constructed from balsa/ply and features a full sheeted fuselage to withstand the rigours of the odd less than perfect landing! The large horizontal stabilizer is bolt on and is re-enforced by an alloy bracket that doubles up as a tailskid, if you use the tricycle undercarriage configuration, the skid will also protect the elevator. The large wing is 1pc bolt on for fast field assembly and the Venus also features a removable canopy for fuel tank access, those wanting to convert the Venus for electric could use this space for flight packs. Trainers must be robust and the excellent and comprehensive hardware package that is included features heavy duty piano wire control rods, metal clevises and so on, the Venus also uses cap head screws throughout. The undercarriage is similarly tough, the main landing gear is thick alloy and mounts using 4 bolts into captive nuts, the steerable front leg is heavy duty sprung piano wire.

The Venus is nicely constructed, tough and practical, it is also a really nice price for a model of this size and should be really cheap to build, the old adage "the bigger they are, the better they fly" certainly applies to the Venus, it is the perfect club trainer that can be built easily, quickly and cheaply!
