Title: Do you know this model?
Post by: Avaiojet 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.

Charles

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
