Default Krill Velox Revolution II 47%

It seems that I might be able to aquire a Krill Models Velox Revolution II 47%. It is a sweet deal that includes a ZDZ 210 engine. I know the plane is out of production now. I e-mailed the company and they told me it has been out of production for 3 years now.

First I would like to hear your opinion on this plane/engine combo. And possibly some suggestions on electronic systems. I thought about dual receivers with some matchboxes, but I also thought about the new Spektrum "power board" system that has multiple connections for multiple servos in one channel and at least two batteries to power the servos (can't recall the people that make it).

Second, The guy that will sell it to me does not have the manual for the aircraft. Was there a manual? Can somebody help me out with one? I will gladly pay for shipping and/or copying costs.

Thanks for your help

Rafael

Use a Weatronic dual receiver, 72MHz or 2.4GHz, the lightest, most compact, most sofisticated and safest receiver there is.

Thanks Lazun, Do you still have the plane? How does it hold up in the long run? This one apparently has been stored for a while. The white gel coat is bubbling in a spot on the cowl.

I noticed quite a bit of carbon fiber in the fuselage. Would this be a concern with 2.4 radios?
