Default 3D Hobby Shop - 47" Velox Revolution

Hey Fellas,

Ben just got in the first shipment of the new 47" Velox Revolution electric parkflyer. I did much of the development on this new airplane so my opinion may be biased, but we've really pulled out all of the stops on this design.

From www.3dhobbyshop.com

"Get ready for the Velox. After the 47" SHP re-defined 3D parkflying, we knew we needed to develop something really special. We chose the Velox Revolution 1, a high performance single-seat aerobatic monoplane. Developer Scott Stoops gave the 47" Velox an extremely high-performance aerobatic wing, incorporating semi-scale side-force generators. A fully airfoiled tail gives the Velox extreme control authority. All the good stuff is here: Carbon wing spar tube, removable wings, pre-installed hinges, phenolic control horns, ball-link control hardware, spring-loaded canopy latch, pre-installed canopy bubble, glossy painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants, carbon fiber gear legs...and the list goes on. "

  • Wingspan: 47 inches
  • Wing Area: 450 square inches
  • Weight: 38-43 ounces

The Velox has extremely stable hover and solid harrier performance upright and inverted. Easy knife-edge with minimal coupling and solid high-speed tracking are designed in, as well as outstanding, amazing tumbling ability.

HS-65 servos are recommended in all 4 servo locations, and drop right into the pre-cut holes.


The lightweight setup is a Torque 2818T-900 motor, 3S 2000-2200 20C pack, APC 13x6.5e prop - great for a floaty, light feel and close-in flying. Other good motor choices for light setups are Hacker A30-16M, EFlight Power 10, Axi 2814.

The high-power setup is a Torque 2814T-820, 4S 2200 20C pack, APC 12x6e prop - great 3D but also lots of speed. Awesome setup with serious power.
