Revolution Pro

[Atwood, Mark]

Hmmmm...unless they made major changes.  Mine was one of the first ones made...so I'm betting the current ones are lighter....but none of the one's I've seen have been even CLOSE to 9.5....That would be impressive...and a HUGE plus for that plane.   The Impact is suppose to come in around that weight, but the level of completed construction is much less.

Heavy?  We weighed one at our pattern contest and it was 9.5 lbs with the OS 140.  This was on a calibrated 100 lb digital scale.

Dan,
 
I've been flying a Rev Pro for 2 seasons now.  Great flying plane...good slow flight, excellent roller, good snaps.
 
The construction is good, as is the finish.  Personally...I'd get the white one and spray your own color scheme.  There is one big downside....The plane is heavy.  They run between 10.5 and 11lbs.  I'm flying mine with a DZ with no power problems...but it needs all of it.
 
Give me a shout off list and I can give you more details.  All in all I've been very pleased with the plane.
 
Mark

I am thinking about buying a revolution pro and was curious if any one out there has any feedbak on the plane.    How does that plane fly at low speed, what is the stall charictaristics, how is the construtcion / finish?  Any info would be apreciated.
 
Thank you
Dan
