Do you know this model?
« on: October 18, 2016, 05:27:40 PM »
There's a plan on ebay for Palmer's Venus that I'm interested in.

I remember seeing one on line someplace? I believe it was orange and blue with a metal cowling.

Anyone know the model builder?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like Floyd Carter's "Venus". I'd bet there's a picture of it on www.flyinglines.org

Gentlemen,

Thank you for the replies.

That is the model and what a nice model it is!

Does the kit come with an aluminum cowling?

Who makes the kit and I'm told this model is Old time stunt legal?

Thanks,

Charles

I don't think the Venus has ever been kitted. Here's your chance......

Does anyone know how well this ship flies?  The airfoil doesn't look too bad other than being a little sharp.  She is just a beautiful bird. H^^

For an aluminum cowling you might contact Dan Banjok, he makes them to sell but, I don't know what diameter.
