Hi,
Any has both the tried and tested and loved Ergo and the newly released Venture?
How much different are the two machines.
Most flyers from the local field fly JR. I saw a guy flying a Ergo 30. The Ergo 30 has excellent flight characteristic. I wonder how the new Venture compares to the Ergo?
cheers

I can't comment on the Ergo, but I can tell you my Venture is a very sweet-flying little heli. I really like the CCPM, it feels very precise. With the 3D flybar and paddles, it flips and rolls very quick. The only thing I don't like about the Venture is the rubber soft mounts for the landing gear, which I have since removed.

Yes, I've had both and Fly both

Which Ergo?
I had the Ergo 46 std mix.
I have a JR Venture w/os 32.
But, I owned them together and flew them together.

In a nutshell, the Ergo 46 had more speed / power-to-Climb but was less maneuverable.

The Venture is more maneuverable, but doesn't have the power of the 46. I never flew an Ergo 30, but I suspect the Venture is substantially better than it is because it was so heavy for a 30 size.
As for hovering and slow flight I put them equal, both were/are rock steady.
Durability, Equal, don't let anyone (in my opinion) tell you the Venture is not as durable because of the plastic frame, it just isn't true. I have had a few dorks with the Venture that I think would have crack the aluminum frame on my Ergo, that did zero frame damage to the Venture.


Which do I prefer? Well, put it this way I sold the Ergo. The Ergo was a great ship don't take me wrong. It just wasn't what I wanted in a 50 size heli.

If you have specific questions about these two heli's ask away. But keep in mind I never owned or flew an Ergo-3d ( CCPM ). I suspect it might have been very comparable to my JR Voyager 50.

Hope this helps.
