Hey guys, I'm about to order a Maxair Velox II. From what I here it's a better flying plane than my old F90, and it should make a good home for my ys110. But, the scheme is somewhat........... how to put it............blah. I would like to make it easier on the eyes, but I don't want to recover the entire plane, that is WAY too much work. I'll attach a pic of the plane and any of you photoshop guru's can have at it if you like.

One idea I had was to remove the black stripe on the wings and horz. stab, and replace it with a straight lined elongated triangle b&w checker pattern. Know what I mean?

Here ya go

Man that is ugly isnt it... Im not sure that there is much that is going to make that maroon color look any better.

It may look ugly...but it's easy to see in the air. And it's the nicest flying 90 size plane I've ever seen. It does KE in both directions with absolutly no mixing. It hovers pretty easy, waterfalls like crazy and does great blenders, inverted flat spins etc. Harriers are easy and very little wing rock once you get it in plane.

To me...that makes up for the odd color scheme. Actually it starts to grow on you.

This plane is a real sleeper and I think clearly the best in class.

thanks

Hmmm, is there any video of it out there? What are the basic dimensions, weight etc? I might have to check it out... If I can remember tomorrow when I get up I may play with it in photoshop and see what we can do.

Mike...

There are a couple of videos on their website. Maybe even 4. That's the only ones I know about. I don't even have a video camera so I don't have any and the plane doesn't really seem to be that popular. But it really is a nice flyer. The closest thing I can compare it to is the EF YAK 68". They fly similar but I won't make any comments in comparison.

I fly mine with a mighty 110. My ready to fly weight is 8lbs 9ozs I think. I use a 16x6 APC prop. It is a sweet flying plane. I didn't think low KE could be so easy. But this baby instills confidence to take it low.

Just to add a different note, I bought the plane because I likedthe color scheme and was very pleasantly surprised at how well it flew.
