Refer to the recommended engine size range on the front
cover of the manual. The Venus II was primarily designed to fly
on a 1.2 cu in [20cc] four-stroke glow engine, but other engines
within the size range are suitable. Sport flyers will enjoy the
Venus II if a two-stroke engine is selected, but most precision
pattern flyers will probably opt for the 1.2 four-stroke. When
flown by the O.S.
® 1.2 Surpass ™ , a 15 x 8 propeller performed
well. Whatever engine is selected, remember that this is an
aerobatic, pattern type of model so the goal should be to use
throttle management and fly smoothly and in control.
Note: A Great Planes Spinner Adapter Kit will have to be
purchased separately as specified below for the engine you
will be using.
O.S. 1.20 Surpass: G.P. Spinner Adapter GPMQ4588.

O.S. .91 Surpass, .91 FX: No adapter kit is required, but the
