I hope I haven't jumped the gun Ian.

Not at all, I had a PM from Cliff earlier today regarding the MR Venom just querying what the current issues were if I knew. Superb flying model but if approached without foreknowledge, a little exasperating at at times.

Ian B

Ian, has MR corrected the issues you raised such as the boom attachment angles etc?

So I believe, a friend has just completed one and he reported the angles were correct. It flies on a Wren 54, more than adequate.

Thanks Ian. This is a great thread and I think I may have to have a Venom.

Hi Ian ,are you doing the moulds mentioned in your article re VENOM if so can you supply and at what cost ,I have allready got my kit about to start the build, the retracts you used Al's AIRPOWER he's no longer listing them on his site ,is there an alternative, ie:- being able to reverse the unit as per yours to fit???

Hi Ian , thanks for reply can I ask what your finished weight of your venom and as to the pro linkx retracts do you know the type your mate is installing as two possibles, one showing up to 8kg and the others at up to 20kg, have you got any photos of your revised linkage of your front doors as you state you have fitted balljoints

Regards Tony B

The Venom finished up at 22-23lb dry though I removed some noseweight which I thought was around eight ounces.

Not sure which of the two sizes he's fitting but I would go for the larger size to err on the side of caution.

No photos to hand but the ball joints are attached to the strut ( drilled and tapped ) and the other end fitted onto the door into an elongated slot to allow for the noseleg steering and retained with small collets.
