Finally I want to get into giant scale- maybe next year....... Well I've found a nice kit (and good priced) of a 2.2m Velox revolution II. http://www.oriononline.cz/models_eng/main.htm
How do Veloxes do 3d?? Any bad habits?
In this particular kit the elevator looks a bit small though and I would probably modify it.

Boogie, not only the elevator looks small. The ailerons are pretty lacking as well....

youngflyer · 08-25-2006, 09:01 PM

there both fine. i dont think you have to modify them at all! is this a kit?

Vic3D · 08-25-2006, 09:35 PM

If you want a 50cc Velox get the Aerotech one. I had it and it was awesome. I still say its the best IMAC machine in the 50cc class. It penetrates wind like a 40%. Now, it is just good for 3D. Not an AWESOME 3D BEAST, but it's good.

Boogie · 08-26-2006, 05:29 AM

But the price difference......... and I want the kit!!
The price of the kit is about 170 euro which is about $220 and it comes with all the hinges and carbon fiber gear and tail wheel. That's 1/2 of the price of an Aerotech 28% Extra kit not even counting the shipping. I would surely love to get a Yak 54 or even an Extra (there are so many of them and I like the Yak looks more), but the extra cost would have killed me (for the difference in price I would get 3 servous out of 5).

The plane they showed in the video flew pretty lite. I bet the pilot was trying to finnish the flight quik so they could get in the car for heat.

MomoBrut · 08-27-2006, 02:25 AM

This Velox is perfect for 3D, it is perfect stable in all harrier based maneuvers. I have seen i t fly "hundred" times.

My 2.6 is not completely finished yet.

sukhoi26 · 08-27-2006, 09:49 AM

I would say it 3-d's like no plane i every seen. But i would only buy one from the man that started building them first. And it's also a winning design but don't take my word for it..........

Nice looking planes gentlemen.

ZDZ80RV-J, weight is about 9.5kg, it is extremely light!!!!! It means unlimited verticals with this motor. I like 3Dying with this plane, its nice and smooth. That is all I can say. Sorry, but there is no video, only the short on their website. More in month or two ... :-)

rc-addict · 08-27-2006, 05:08 PM

a friend is one building , and its really nice and LIGHT construction.
but I was thinking for a 3W 80, would probably be about the same power/weight ratio.
looking forward to your maiden , keep us updated

BreadBowl · 08-27-2006, 05:42 PM

Nice looking airplane, killer price as well. I wouldn't knock it till I tried it.

Boogie · 08-28-2006, 04:54 AM

So it's time to start gathering money for it

I will rather get the 50cc version which is supposed to come at AUW of 14,5lbs!!

MomoBrut · 09-23-2006, 04:09 AM

It is 3D beast ... i do not have video ... pictures only. This is from third flight with this baby ...
