Whats the 1st thing you do upon returning from Iraq? Buy a Great Planes Revolver 70
I just returned form deployent number 6 and while waiting for a plane to take me home I ordered me a welcome home present, a Great Planes Revolver 70....
I got home late on the 8th and it was waiting for me in the Garage...
Looks like a sweet plane,
I will try to post some pictures of the progress, so far it looks really built well.
man its great to be home...

I couldn't have said it better myself.............
The Revolver 70 is a nice plane. Which motor are you going to put in it? I've seen on at the field where I fly and it has a DLE20 in it which flies the plane with no problems at all. Good luck with your build.........................

Glad you had a safe deployment and return home with that GP Revolver 70 waiting for you! You and all who serve deserve much, much more. Thanks to you and all who serve their country's call, and keep us informed on how the build and maiden on the Revolver 70 goes. It's one that I would consider myself!

Would you believe today was my maiden on my Revolver, three flights burning almost the whole tank each flight...
Awsome airplane, need to work on the idle some, I almost couldnt get it to land. It just kept floating, need to throttle it back some and do a better tune on the engine.
