Hi all,

Photos of my latest addition to the hangar.

It's a K&A Models "Evolution 400". Was designed for Speed 400 pylon, but I bought the kit with every intention that it would have a 1/2 A on the front.

At this point I have the VA Mk II r/c mounted on the front (via a Texas Timers radial mount), so that I can utilise the throttle during trimming, but once trimmed out, the mounting pattern has been set so that I can bolt the Cyclon 0.061 straight on. [X(]

YEEHAAAR!

HI SHACKAS! Looks like a winner! what are the tail feathers made out of? How much does it weigh [HMDIW]? What are you running for onboard equipment? It should be pretty awesome with the VA, and terrifying with the CYCLON![X(]

Hiya Pigg,

Tail feathers are 3/32 balsa glassed with 0.75 oz cloth (additional layers of 0.75 cloth used for V-tail centre reinforcement and to make live hinges for moving surfaces.)

Servos (I think) are GWS Pico Pro BB mounted with rubber grommets.

Tank is a Sullivan 1 oz cylindrical.

Receiver is Hitec 555.

Weight - Not known at moment, but estimate 11 oz.

Thanks for the info! Looks like it has just one aileron also, if so are you supposed to have differential throw? How is the wing made/ reenforced? Hope you give us a flight report!

I always wondered how a fast speed 400 electric aircraft would work with a good 1/2A on the front of it... The flying weight would probably be higher with the electric set-up (batteries, speed control.) but how much I dont know. There are tons of these models available... Was also looking at the speed 400 warbird pylon racers from TDL, they look like they could use 1/2A power as well.
