ArcusFlyer Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi, There's an RXL on ebay at the mo, anyone know the difference between the RXL and the MXL? Look very similar to me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbg Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi Arcus Flyer The RXL is a smaller machine. From the original spec sheets and when new the following data applied: Static thrust: RXL 43 Kg MXL 47 Kg Weight (Zero fuel): RXL 15 Kg MXL 17.5 Kg Prop diameter: RXL 0.9 m MXL 1.05 m I have recently tested some older MXL's and the best thrust figure attained was 42 Kg so please don't expect an old unit to produce "book" figures. That will all depend on usage and how the machine has been looked after. Spares will become increasingly difficult to obtain as the cost of stocking them when weighed against the amount sold becomes difficult to sanction. They would always be available, but manufacturing 1 or 2 off a part is prohibitively expensive. My advise would be to buy a new RAD Arrow or Javelin. But I am biased.

ArcusFlyer Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks for the info Martin, probably a bit small for me then. Do you have a date for your '08 models going on sale yet? Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbg Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 '08 models are on sale now but have to be slotted into our production schedule. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
