Hey guys, I'm relatively new to pattern (currently in Sportsman), and I recently acquired a Composite-ARF Revolution Pro NIB. I know it's an older design, but should suit my current abilities just fine. It looks like a nice plane nonetheless. I'm looking for any set-up tips and tricks that worked for this airframe in it's day. Any info provided would be greatly appreciated.
Also, it's missing some of the hardware. Mainly the large DEPS tube that joins the one front and two rear smaller aluminum tubes, and it's support (maybe a standard DEPS from Central Hobbies would be a good alternative?). And the support that holds the ele. and rud. servo mounts (the instructions state that the servo mounts screw to a wood support that I assume is glued into the fuse?), and the throttle servo mount and how it is secured in the airframe.
I was going to use the factory installed engine mount beams and go with an OS140RX or maybe YS. I know the 140RX is a good, reliable engine,(and cheaper) but somewhat lacking in power. I'm smart enough to know that most pattern guys are flying YS for a reason.
Thanks again for your help.
Kevin
