Thanks - that's great news. GP is finally listening. Pls let us know how your landings are going.

Microdon:

Like I said, had about 15 landings. Some very rough due to pilot error, cross wind & 20 mph wind. No problems..yet!

Will keep you posted!

Looking to buy on one these with the .55ax.

This will be my second airplane.  I'm really taking to the trainers easily.  My only concern about this thing is that it seems like it might be hard to track in the sky.  I also want a size .46 sport plane that will not have to fly blazing fast all the time.  Seems like every video of these planes are people flying the over 130mph and over stressing them.

Any suggestions other than this plane.  Thanks guys.

Unless you are proficient flying RC, then this would definitely NOT be a second airplane! Even being a third might be risky for some. I purchased mine as my third/fourth plane. I have both Revolvers and I would never recommend the small one as a second plane.

The small Rev can be a hot little rocket on landings and takes some time to get used to. Just my .02 cents. I am sure some other guys will chime in and comment.

For sure, the small Revolver is not for beginners. I have a .60 in mine & even after 20 years of flying, it can be a handful. I ripped the gear attachment out so many times on landing. After many repairs, I bought a new fuse. Cannot believe the difference Great Planes made in the modification. Have had at least a dozen landings with no problems. Some were in windy cross winds. If you do decide to buy the 59", make sure the fuse has the stronger lg attachment.

Good luck

If I do buy It I'll spend some more time flying the low wing trainer.  Any other nice sport/scale planes that don't have to fly ballistic all the time.?

I have wrecked mine too many times to fix now. It is just the landing gear that is the problem with mine, they keep ripping out. If anyone would like to buy parts, just tell me, the wings and almost everything else are/is in good condition. The fuselage only has a hole in it from the landing gear coming out.

are the ones with the new landing gear that much better?

m1morrow;

I have the 59" Revolver with a OS 55AX engine. I have been in this hobby for over 25 years and this plane turn me on my ear!!! It took me some time just to learn how to land this bird and don't have to do the " walk of shame ", ( that's when the plane run of the end of the runway in to the tail grass!! ) I can tell you that this airplane would not be a good move to make as your second plane. If you want a good second plane in the 46 size engine, than look at the Tower Hobbies Kaos 40 ARF. This would make a good second plane. The 59" Revolver is a sweet plane aand a joy to fly, but, it will bite you!!! Now if you want to spend the money and buy the 59" Revolver, please get help with it. Have someone have flown the 59" Revolver, put you on the buddy box and see if you can handle this bird!!! We want you to be happy with this bird and love it just like we all do!!!
Just like always, this is just my 2 cents!!!

Thanks for all the help guys,

Sounds like its a real handful also sounds like you all like it allot.  Yes I'll definitely get some help on a biddy box if I do buy it.   I don't want to do a auger.auger4 arrival.
I'll see If anyone has one at my field. 

It would nice to see one in action myself and watch how hot it comes in.  So at least I can make a educated stupid decision in stead of a uninformed stupid decision. 

Thanks

Suggest you replace the fuse for $65 if all the other parts are in good shape. Did mine..flys great! Addicted now!

Morrow:

Yes, the new fuse IS that great! The gear attachment is so much better.

Good luck!

N495RD

Awesome! I'll do that! Thanks a bunch for the suggestion!

If anyone needs a right wing panel for the larger Revolver. The right one only. The left one is trashed. $10.00 + shipping. It has a removeable FUTABA decal.

N495RD

No Lippucci, I am a member of Ocala Flying Model Club. I have a few friends out at On Top Of The World though. You should come fly with us some time!

lippucci

Thanks for the offer. 3-4 hr drive for a 78 year old man is not on my radar these days.

N495RD

Aaah, I understand that fully. Where do you fly, I notice you are located in Florida.

lippucci

Fly at Collier fair grounds. Called Collier Fun Flyers!

N495RD

Wilco, I may have to come there some time. When is your next fly-in?

lippucci

We do not have fly ins. We are open 7 days a week & fly every day. Not much flying on weekends as there is a no fly zone due to a Flea Market in the area. Still, 5 days is enough. Guests welcome every day. No charge!

Wilco, I'll try to make it around to there some time soon!

My Feedback: (2)

Those of you flying with a .46 size engine, what prop are you using? I have a O.S. .46FX engine on my revolver and Iv'e flown it with a APC 11x5 and a Master Airscrew 11x7 but didn't think much of the performance with either.
