Ty,

The Neptune could have been an earlier design that just wasn't built until after the Venus. I'm like you though,
I like the Venus better!

Ty,

I'm not sure but isn't John's Neptune painted a dark blue? I've only seen it once and that was around 2000.

Hi TY,

Rondenelli Venus: based on the Nobler (but MUCH bigger! Can you believe he finished 2nd at the NATS with a Fox 35 in that Monster?)

Palmer Venus: from Bob hisself! LOL!!

*Other* Venus: I-Beam, Pawloski (correct??)

I now have laser ribs available for the Rondinell Venus. Shipped some sets out a few days ago.

Here is a picture of the Palmer "Venus" that I built.

I still don't know why someone doesn't kit that Venus and his Mars too. How much for a set of Rondinellis ribs??? Talk aboout timing. yoohaa.

Ty, put one of those 8 dozen ST 46s you have in that Rondenelli Venus!

I just got a *29* case 46 reworked from Randy. It's a two ring model! And maybe a 1/2 oz. lighter than the standard.

I already had a 29/46 engine but didn't know it! LOL!!!

Billy's "engine of choice" when it came to using one in a Classic plane.

HI JOm. Two of them are really old models and well used. Maybe beyond rebuilding. The other two are packed and will be sent out Monday. Sorry. LL~Ugh, there is one for sale on the other forum and on dabay. But the prices???

Actually, Ty, there are still enough parts around to rebuild a ST G21/46. Even the old two ring type I just got from Randy! I used one of Brian Gardner's sleeve/piston setups in one but I have to run it in. I think it will last forever (except for maybe the bearings!). It's the one I burned down at Marietta a couple years ago.
