Hi
Did you do the first fly with the Genesis ?
On picture the pattern is very beautifull.
In reality what's do you think about finish and quality of manufacturing ?
Thanks

marcelo colombo won the las tournament of f3a in argentina with the genesis, it´s very beautiful and flies like an angel.
also will be available in www.camodel.com.ar, colombo worked on the desing process of the genesis too. its build by camodel

I have 10 flights on mine and love it. The plane went together in 3 afternoons
I am running the YS 140 DZ in mine and the weight is 10lbs 6oz with Nicads

I've got the electric version coming, scheduled to be here tomorrow.

I saw one of these being setup for electric, Hacker C50-14XL, I believe. This is one sweet looking plane.
The factory paint job is immaculate. I have no idea what the battery selection will be or the servo selection is, I don't think they were that far yet. When I was there the builders were fitting and installing the custom light ply motor mount.

I sure wish I could afford a plane this pretty, even if I don't know how it flies.

Its a nice plane inside and out. Ive seen it fly, very nice plane. The paint job is sick..

Got the Genesis today. Not sure why they sold this as an electric version. Comes with firewall, pipe tunnel installed which is no use for an electric setup and will prob be torn out. Have serious doubts as to whether the gear will be long enough, heavy aluminum wing/tail tubes. Gonna take some serious alterations inside the fuse, and expense, for the hacker setup. Paint job and covering is excellent. Out runner running smaller prop would be an easier setup the way this plane comes setup. If you ask me it's not an electric version.

Hello
Let me explain you the differences between the Glow and Electric versions of the Genesis.
Basically is the same model, but in the electric version we take much more care choosing the weight of the prime materials used for it. In both versions you have the F1 and tunnel pipe already installed. This increases a little bit the weight but provides a very strong structure. Of course, the F1 can be drilled for allowing enough airflow for batteries. I'm attaching a few pictures of my electric model installation. About the stab/wing tube, we use Gator R/C products.
Good flights!

Hello Marcello,
Very impatient to have it in France. Génésis is awaited with much curiosity here.
I think I will mount an electric combo on mine with a French outrunner (Cyclon F3A)...Same motor as CPLR.
See you in St yan.
Your french dealer,

Christophe.

Slightly off-topic.

Is it true? Has CPLR finally made the switch? I know that previously this winter somebody wrote here at the forum that he had stated that he will continue to use YS engines for 2005. As a long-time electric pilot, I couldn´t be more happy if this was the case and if he´s using an outrunner, even better.

I don't no if CPLR will fly electric or glow this season. All i can say is that he made serious tests with the CyclonF3A.

Christophe.

Yea, I've heard that too. And then, there was a fire.

I just finished my new electric genesis and i am a little confused as to where we went wrong with the electric version. If the model did not come with any firewall I believe it would be somewhat difficult to mount the motor wouldn't it. As for the pipe tunnel like Marcelo explained it serves a dual purpose. Another difference in the two versions is the placement of the elev. servos. With the new lite battery packs we feel it will be best to use some type of pushrod arrangement instead of mounting the servos in the tail.
I recomend the cetral new carbon rod setup or a MK system

As for the carbon gear you recieved, they were intended for a glow model and are to short to run the 22 inch props with. However the new longer electric gear are currently being sent to me so I can exchange them for the standard ones that came with your plane. Finally, yes it is true the models do come standard with an aluminum wing tube and thats the way I am going to leave it. They are not even close to 5 kilo as is, and I cannot see charging everyone for that little bit of weight savings when it is uncalled for and will not make the plane anybetter then it is at this. Of course they are readily available carbon tubes if

Now as for all of the alterations and expense to the fuselage, that couldn't be further from the truth. I assembled mine in a few hours over the past two nights and I think I had to add a total of $3.00 worth of materials to come up with a super lite and very sanitary installation. I took some pics and will try to get them uploaded in the AM.

Here's one way to mount the motor without a firewall. and it allows the batteries to be cooled without being in the pipe tunnel. Loading the batteries through the pipe tunnel will be a bit of a pain after a while. Top loading through the canopy is much simpler at the field.
