Beam or Otop?
 

hi... i may consider buying either of these 2 planes... which 1 do u guys think is better in terms of flite characteristics?

RE: Beam or Otop?
 

Having seen both fly, I prefer the Beam, especially if it is newly redesigned as posted elsewhere in this forum. The Otop is also nice but it is just smaller. If you will used the older YS120s or YS140s then the Otop would be perfect. But if you have the YS160 then go for the Beam. Are the Otops still available? When we were in Thailand, I was told that there were only 5 left and they would not produce any more of them.

Hello
Be sure OTOP is still sold. Because I heard that production of this plane is over.

The OTOP is very much in production and available. We've got 1 left in stock here in the U.S. at [link=http://www.bvmprops.com]BVM Props [/link] and will have more in the coming weeks.

Hi
Goods news. My friend Christophe has one with engine MVVS 160 and he is very happy with.
He told me OTOP in a very good pattern. See pictures of his plane in contest (France)

Hi David

Was nice to see you at Joe Nall. Shall we revive our pattern rivalry? :) Wish we'd have more time to visit Friday but I understand you, Jason and your Dad were busy with it being a "working vacation" and all that. Still thinking about the Otop or the Astral.

BTW Nice flying :)

hmmm....... i shall decide :) any more tips pls? thanks for all the advice, guys

RE: Beam or Otop?
 

Otop is older than beam and Otop will be replace soon by his new brother.
I've seen Otop fly last week, it fly well but a little too fast in my opinion. For Beam i've never see it in france at the moment so i can't judge.


So two solutions for you:
1-buy Beam
2-wait for Otop's big brother

RE: Beam or Otop?
 

thanks for the tip off :D

Hey Tim,

Great seeing you at the Nall. It was a bit busy there and hopefully we'll meet up again at a future event, who knows, maybe a pattern contest??

The OTOP is a great plane, very prefabricated, I think almost the most pre-fabbed for that price. I'll be posting photos of the inside setup on [link=http://www.bvmprops.com]www.bvmprops.com[/link] this week.

hi Mr.DaveShulman, are u gonna be a dealer 4 the Otop's big bro? how much roughly will it cost to ship an Otop 2 singapore??

RE: Beam or Otop?
 

does anyone have pics of what the new otop version is going to look like. Just now finishing the otop and can't wait to get it in the air.

Hey Snap Roll,

Yes, BVM Props is distributing the line of Xtreme Composites here in the USA. With you being in Singapore, it would be cheapest to buy direct from the factory if you can, otherwise we can ship worldwide without a problem.
