Hey Chuck I just read your review on the Revolver. Can you tell me more on the plane?
What would you like to know?
It is not a 3D plane and isn't intended to be. It is however a high performance sport plane.
The construction quality and ease of assembly are amazing. In my book, this is the best ARF I have ever put together.
The plane is fast due to its slippery shape and very aerobatic. The only downside is that the low drag airframe doesn't slow down as easily as other planes. It's manageable of course but could get someone in trouble if they aren't ready for it.
It's also a looker, much prettier in person than in some of the photos.
I also saw your post about the SSE and knife edge capability. Sig touts the knife edge ability in their description of the plane. Maybe my two were "special" somehow but they both would knife-edge beautifully. Maybe I'm missing something but I saw no problems.
If I were in your position, I would go for the SSE over the Revolver at this point. Then if you want to advance into 3D look at one of the profiles from OMP, Swany, etc.
