The DA is on hold from Chief. but the assembly is going easily. I juess that i can work on ironing the covering down while i wait on the DA 50. Someone please update with flight reports.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

Edge Flyer as soon as my good friend gets me the engine, then maybe if I let him fly the vision 3d, he will let me fly his double vision

Yall are KILLING ME!!!!

Found mine.

I sent a deposit via the CH website back in May. I called Friday and they have no record of it. The deposit was collected by Planes Plus. CH and PP split their relationship a few months back. I was told my money is not gone, however un accounted for. My name was not on the list at CH, so the CH people are calling the PP people and it will be worked out. Crappy thing, I missed the first run. Suppose to be more in a couple of weeks. uh huh

If you have not heard about the Vision you pre-ordered, call. # on the CH site.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

Actually, I talked to the guy at CHP on Friday. The planes are actually in the US, only in a port sitting because there is noone to unload them.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

ANy updates? This plane looks too cool. I wish it was a bit cheaper though. Seems it does not come with to much hardware.

I have the DV and it is a really treat to fly. I spent much time setting up my transmitter using Areofly Simulator. Flying the simulator and the flying the DV in real life is exactly the same. Great plane to fly. However the ball bearings are poorly manufactured and getting replacement parts from Chip has not been successful.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

Any videos, or pictures of this plane would be appreciated. Thanks!

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

here's mine. it is a beautiful plane. email me if you have any questions. [email protected]

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

I sure hope they get your order straight Tony, I can't wait to see you fly the Vision at Happy's feild soon[8D]

I'm just starting building my Vision and was studying the color scheme.

I don't mind it being asymetrical but I was wondering how visible it was against a white sky? Any keen observers out there with comments?

Regards,

Eric.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

the bottom of the wings is red with white stars. Should be visible.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

Got a call from Tom @ CH. Visions will be in this week, possible ship this week, if not first thing next week.


sweeeeet

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

Planes look good. Cannot wait to see a video of it, anyone that has one please try to give us some video to look at. thanks.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

I was wondering more about the top view? It is an assortment of shapes on a white background. ["I wonder what it might say in Chinese?" (BG)]

There was a similar pattern on the Flip-3-D. I eventually peeled all of that off and gave it a high-vis scheme.


Regards,

Eric.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

Cool videos. It looks like a lazer to me.

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

Been out of town allllllllllllll week. Visions showed Wendsday. Christmas came early. My son, Airplane Zane (7), has been telling me about it.

Just got home.

First thoughts. Elevators are smaller than expected, may need to make an ajustment :D Rudder is awesome. Zane said it was heavy, I gotta agree with him. I will weight it tomorrow. Ailerons are great. Shiny gear and the glass, paint, wood work and covering are much better than expected.

Sweeeeeeeeeet

Zane snap a pic

RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D
 

Cool Tony... "Git 'er Dun" :)

Could you measure the root chord and the tip chord? And the length of each panel (down the center not along the LE or TE)?

What about the various colored covering... Does it all look like it's on top of white? Like on the rudder, does the red and yellow at the top look like it's applid on top of the white or is the yellow seamed with the white?

Just curious to see how easy a covering redesign might be...

Also the wings... are they built up or sheeted foam?

Judging by the pic, the Vision's body has the same outline (and probably most of the same parts ) as the DV. Even the rudder is the same. I notice the front of the hatch is built angled forward vs. vertical like the DV...


Mine'll be here Monday, but it isn't going to get any attention other than a thorough inspection til after the first of the year.

Oh... and those elevators... based on the videos there's no need to modify them in the least... but that is a personal prefernce...

The asymetric trim colors pull off easily. It is solid white underneath.
