I've read in previous posts that I should epoxy the roots on my venture. Since I'm new to heli's, what is a root?? I've scanned the parts lists at the back of the manual and didn't see this term.

Hi newtoheli
I am quite sure they mean rotor blade root.
If you are intending to use the stock wood blades, remove the plastic from the blade roots and apply epoxy evenly to the wood area underneath the plastic. replace the plastic bits and wipe away exess epoxy. don't forget to roughen the plastic with wet n dry paper to get a better epoxy 'key'.

Venture Blades

I have a venture, and found out that the plastic grips on my main rotor blades were not expoxied on. No where in the instructions does it tell you to do this, but it does tell you balence them and track them and so on. Not epoxying on the blades can be very dangerous if one comes apart. I discovered this when the covering came off my blades and I was about to toss them out and decided take them apart to see if I could recover the blades and found it they were not glued down at all and never were.

Just something i've been told often to do if i'm going to continue to use woodies on my heli.
