After flying an Electric Genesis..
I would tell you all how well the electric version of the Genesis flies, but it might cause an ordering delay for me[8D]...
oh well what the heck.... All I can say is holy cow I didnt realize I could fly that well...;) I wanted one anyway,, but after a test flight there is no doubt, it is nothing like I have ever flown before,, that is flying electric and or the Genesis airframe. From an intermediate/advanced level pilot perspective,, flying the masters pattern it was nothing short of stunning. The really unbelieveable thing was the lack of torque issues at the exit of a snap and how well it held a line in any attitude without correction. That right ME, a mediocre, mid level pilot sticking snap after snap in uplines, downlines, anywhere in a loop I wanted to snap.. And on exit it tracked straight out with little or no rudder correction... I have got to get me one no kidding around... I Might even be able to get within 100 points of Brett, Mark and Jim with it. |

Well, it won't be electric, but we're looking really hard at an ARC Genesis. Could transfer Todd's program (which is on Jim's radio) straight to my radio. I really liked his setup when I flew Todd's old genesis (now Jim's) :)
Plus the fact that everyone and their brother has one down here, tooonnns of setup help. |

BTW Brett, we met only briefly at the Nats, but I had the pleasure of judging you in the 5th round. You have some real talent. Congradulations on your championship, from what I saw, you earned it. I thought Mark and Dennis flew exceptionally well too that round, but you were a tad more solid throughout. Dang I gotta fly against you in advanced next year? As if AC wasn't bad enough.....oh well, I suppose I better go get a flatbed full of fuel and start practicing now!! Good luck to you and I hope to see you at the nats next year (where you're goin down sucka!!!!) <-----stirring up the drama early LOL -Mike |

Hello BigNed,
Could you tell us about your engine set-up: motor, prop, controlleur, battery, rpm, amps? Thank's, Benoit ORIGINAL: BigNed I would tell you all how well the electric version of the Genesis flies, but it might cause an ordering delay for me[8D]... oh well what the heck....

RE: After flying an Electric Genesis..
LOL, Benoit I wish. It isnt my plane, it belongs to Todd Blose. But it was incredible.
Brett, that plane needs a pilot like you to fly it. Im not kidding, its a totally different flying experience,,, you will have a lot of 10's in your future with it. Of course the person who put it together probably had a lot to do with the way it flies. Mike, yep Im flying Masters next year. :D Its a fun pattern and its challenging. Since I'll probably never go to the NATS I just do what I enjoy, I have tried all the patterns but FAI is a little too ugly to fly in front of judges. I just fly for fun and treat it like golf, being that my greatest competitor/obstacle is my own ability.. With masters I can do all of the maneuvers comfortably, they just need to be cleaned up a bit. Nothing 100 gallons or 10000 battery charges cant take care of.;) If I can swing it I will build one this fall and be ready for next spring, but thats a big if .... |
RE: After flying an Electric Genesis..
Benoit,
Here is the set up on the Electric Genesis that Big Ned flew Motor is the Hacker C50 13XL and the Master 90-O-Acro speed controller. I also ran the motor on a Hyde soft mount with a nose ring The batteries are Thunder power TP5300-5S4P with a APC 20 x 13 E prop Not sure on the RPM but the Amps are 65 to 70 |
