Nothin' Ventured, Nothin Gained!

The Venture 60 features a special blend of sleek styling, simple structure, and smooth handling. The kit builds fast thanks to the accurately machine-cut parts and the carefully engineered design. Thanks to its long tail and light weight, it breezes through aerobatics with grace and style. With its massive wing area and thick airfoil, landing the Venture 60 is a walk in the park. A slow walk! It's a great choice for your second airplane or your first low-wing or your first taildragger. The Venture 60 is the kind of model that makes every pilot look like an old pro.

Designed to accomodate 3" wheels, these pants are plenty tough even if you fly from grass. The kit includes ABS plastic wheel pant halves, fiberglass reinforcing tape, mounting hardware, and instructions.

R/C Report May 1995
"The Venture 60 kit is, by far, one of the most impressive kits I've ever assembled! Every aspect of the kit - the quality of the materials, the cutting and preparation of the pieces, the plans, and the instructions - just might each be the best I've seen in any kit I've built."

R/C Modeler March 1998
"... you will start enjoying your V60 when you open the box; excellent plans and instructions, and quality wood parts precisely shaped. The V60 is the only kit I have assembled in recent memory in which I did not have to replace a single piece of wood for one reason or another."

Model Airplane News August 1996
"The photo-illustrated instruction book is very well-written; follow it precisely because Bruce has thought it through and explained it well."
