Radical Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi Matt I've got a Revolution 24, 2 years old, in the region of 60 hours, yellow though. I've not advertised it at the mo as I was still debating about how and what might replace it. If of interest we could have a chat.

Radical Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi Matt Actually just noticed that you have an MXL. It might not be the ideal motor/wing combo. I'd recommend seeking further advice before committing to either wing. Cheers Steve P.S. Flown mine with a Pap Top 80 1250 and 1400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_k Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi Guys Why is the Rad mxl and the Revolution 24 not a good combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanman Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Reflex wings are power hungry while the Rad is not renowned for having any spare power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Fanman is bang on. I started with an MXL and Swing Arcus 4 which worked well and I had some great flights. After a while I wanted to do longer cross country flights in company with others and this was where I found the Arcus couldn't cut it against reflex wings. I couldnt beat them so I wanted to join them. However it was clear that the low thrust from the MXL was a limiting factor on which wing I could fly. I therefore switched to the Pap Top 80 1250 before moving up to the Revo. I suspect you may have to change your motor first before your wing but as I said before, ask around and get advice. One cost effective path, if you are happy with Rad and have a good engine and harness, may be to transplant all the parts into an Arrow or, even better, a Javelin frame matched with the appropriate prop. The prop size makes a surprisingly large difference. Once you've done that give me a ring about the wing. Cheers Steve P.S. Thanks for the compliment Simon, I hope to fly with you guys one day and want to be able to look people in the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanman Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Matt says he weighs 65kg. I reckon the idea of sticking the existing motor in a Javelin frame (with the right reduction, exhaust and prop) is pretty nifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_k Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thanks for your coments guys. P.s Can anyone lend us a couple of grand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi there I can confirm that the Revolution 24 is now for sale. Thinking of £1150 ONO. As mentioned previously, 2 years old, around 60 hours and in yellow. Inspections welcome, based in Yorkshire.
