When are you coming back to pattern? Fly Stephen's plane... and I'm sure you'll be back!

Derek, incase you missed it he won't need to fly Stephens. he will have his own LOL

Cat... bag, oh no.

hahaha.

Chuck

I'm a visual guy - I don't read text. [8D] All I saw was S. Byrd on the plane so I assumed it was Stephen's. I should've gone back and actually read what Chip wrote...

Derek I'm coming back. That is Stephens plane in the pic. Mine is coming around shortly. Helping get Stephen ready for the NATS, I didn't realize how much I missed it!!

Rick

Na uh. You just missed the giant chimichangas on Saturday night with Pops!

Just got the De-Ja-Vu today and OMG!!!!!!! It is Beautiful, Great job on the paint Chip and Great job Marcleo on the ARC.
Here are the pic's

Jim

Very, very nice Todd. Looks great!

If looks mean anything that thing ought to fly great. Absoulutly stunning!! Mike

Hi Todd. Will you be flyimh this with or without the T-cannilizer. I love how the plane looks but am just not a fan of how the T-cannilizer looks. Would it work well without one?

The De Ja Vu has finally taken flight.  I put 3 flights on the plane today, 2 without the canalizer and 1 with the canalizer.  I wasn't very happy with how the rudder has working without the canalizer on the plane.  The right rudder wasn't holding the plane on the horizontal knife edge flight line; all the plane wanted to do was settle.  But with left rudder there was no problem and rudder felt great.  Put the canalizer on the plane, problem solved - the rudder works and feels the same both ways.  Very happy with the plane, it should have a lot of potential.

The weight came in right at 4900g - which is amazing considering how huge the fuse is. 

More later with some pics.

jayjayneri,
I went without the T-canGalizer on mine. I did go with the split rudder and SFG's and was able to get 5 flghts on it today. I am very happy with the plane
and the rudder on mine seems to be very effective. The plane is very true, Great job Matt and Chip.
here are some pis'c of it finished.

Thanks for all of the comments and the finish on the plane is the best I have seen. Thanks again Chip

Didn't take you long  to get yours in the air there Todd.  Glad to hear that you like the plane so far.

 I'll agree that the rudder is very effective even without the canalizer, but with the canalizer it is even more effective in a positive way.  It does not affect any of the mixing or create new mixing in any way.  Some guys like the canalizer and some don't.  So to each there own, I'm just glad to hear some positive feedback about the plane.  Plus it is a good thing that CA is offering the plane with and without the canalizer just so that each customer is happy with their plane.

I was fortunate enough to be there for the first few flights of Todd's new De-Ja-Vu. This plane is gorgeous in the air and on the ground. There are many similarities between the Pass-port and this airplane although I truly believe Chip and Matt have one-upped the Pass-Port. If you like the Pass-Port, you're going to love the De-Ja-Vu. They have very similar styles in my opinion. The De-Ja-Vu presents very well in the air and the downlines of this aircraft are beautiful in presentation and speed. We had a decent quartering crosswind today and the plane, even in the second flight, was on rails. Matt is correct about the T-Can, some like it, some don't but either way, this plane is a winner.

The pictures are possibly a little deceiving as I took them with my iPhone. The foreground plane always looks larger but these two airplanes have very similar dimensions. It's cool to see the lines of these two awesome airplanes next to each other though. If you are considering the De-Ja-Vu, don't consider any longer....just get it!!

Great looking plane Todd. Any ideas on price yet?

Arch

Thanks Arch got 3 more flights on it yesterday and I really do like it.
I am not sure on the price, hopefilly Chip or Marcelo can say. I would think it will be the same price as the other planes CA has just depends
on what option you go with.

Glad to hear you guys are liking the planes. It was killing me last weekend not knowing what was going on as I had to be a an event down here for 3 days. The price for Todds plane is the same as the Visa. For Matts version it will be a little more. Not sure exactley how much yet as we are trying a couple different options in the way we build and mount the T-can.

Chip

What batteries is that weight with Matt?

Thanks!

tp 5000´s. Todds is about 90 grams lighter without the top wing.

Chip

Stephens plane left today and Ricks is just about finished. Rick hasn´t seen his yet just a drawing he sent me as kind of an idea. I will leave it up to Rick if he wants to post it or not. I think we came pretty close.

C

Ooohh, Aaahh!!!! We can now start calling Rick Rainbow Bright. No, really, I like it a lot. Show the wings, show the wings.

Rick & Stephen - you're lucky guys.
