Noah,

I have flown Revolutions for a long time now, and have only seen home made "mini" Revolutions. Never seen them for sale. Here is a picture of a mini Revolution a friend made and sent to me.

Noah,

To my knowledge no one makes them to sell.

You would have to make them yourself.

Attached is one of the two mini trains I built in 1996.

They are 80cm wide, being scaled down REV I'S.

They flew great!!!

All were given away for good causes.

Enjoy,

John

Those are pretty cool. Very nice.

What did you use for the spars?

What did you use for the spars?

My guess -

.125 pultruded tubes for the main spar

.080 solid carbon rods for the verticals.

[johnnmitchell]

leading edge was 4mm solid carbon.

verticals were 3mm solid carbon.

I first used fiberglass, but they flexed to much

[Dorsal]

4mm = .157 inch

3mm = .118 inch

Well, my guess was 1mm too small on both counts - but hollow tubes are available in the sizes used, so the weight could be reduced somewhat. It's sure a tempting project!

It might end up looking like a miniature of these.
