LOL... Isn't there some sort of copyright law I can go after them with... I surely used these colors before they did

That is definitely the best that plane will ever look with her holding it.

RE: CA Models ENVISION
Here are a few pics of second Envision that I spoke of earlier. Obviously it is super important to us to try and make every plane the same which I am confident in saying we have for the last 6 plus months. But when people like Andrew, Sean, Tony, etc contact us for a plane it is an added amount of pressure.
I am not really sure how to explain but we are just not in the position at this time to be able to give planes away. Because of this it is okay with us that these pilots, and many others for that matter are not solo CA Models pilots. Obviously that is what we are hoping for but that is something they will need to decide after flying one of our planes.
I know Marcelo has been very quiet but believe me it is an honor for him everytime we send a plane out, be it to the US or elsewhere. This is not a single person process and while in the past he had to take care of everything solo(right or wrong) he tried to do the best he could.
Enjoy

RE: CA Models ENVISION
Haha yea he did the pinstriping.... You should have seen the email about that. I'm looking forward to getting the envision. Ca models and chip have done an amazing job on these new airplanes. I should have the plane Tuesday this week. I'll get it built and flying very shortly after.
I really appreciate Jason, Chip, and Marcelo giving me the chance to fly this model. I'm the type of person that likes to try as many airplanes as I can to see what suits my flying style.

RE: CA Models ENVISION
Just in from Jas that he has been out flying his Envision today and he is really pleased. He sent me a few pics from his phone at the field as well as an update over the phone. So far he says the following.
Elev mix on knife is 2% and Roll mix is under 5%. These are with point mixes but he has not yet moved the points in to where they actually need to be to line up with the amount of rudder needed. My guess is the mixes will come down to somewhere between .5 and 2 once he does that. Snaps are awesome but he is having to play with the inputs to get the spins right. It is a swept wing and they require different inputs so he is working with that. This plane was the first so it is a little heavier then the production planes are. When I say this I need to clarify its not over the limit with 5000 and Ja says he has done nothing to make it light. (Heavy RX pack and speed control being the two things he mentioned) I know he recieved the plane tues. and test flew it yesterday.
Jason will give a full update on the build and first flights once he gets his computer back.

Sorry forgot the pics
Sorry forgot the pics
Hi Chip,
Thought I would share a couple pics from the field of the new Envision. Once I started building it only took me 2 days to finish it and get it flying. I guess when it's raining every day it's a good time to build lol. Being a swept wing there is a little learning curve on spins, but the look of it in the air is 'classic' and rolls and snaps are dead on. KE is strong, even without the sfg's so I can't wait to put them on and try it out.
I'm without a computer right now, again, so feel free to post these on the web as I know I can't from my phone. Thanks again to you and CA Models for my Envision!

RE: CA Models ENVISION
Sorry for the late pics... been really busy playing with flying between rain storms, set-ups and trying different things to see how the Envision performs. I've got it about 99% where I want it right now so things are progressing. Sorry for the blurry pics, they're phone pics.
Back to work (not Envision work)
