Belassis Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 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. Charly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnmitchell Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. What did you use for the spars? P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsal Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 What did you use for the spars? My guess - .125 pultruded tubes for the main spar .080 solid carbon rods for the verticals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnmitchell Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 leading edge was 4mm solid carbon. verticals were 3mm solid carbon. I first used fiberglass, but they flexed to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsal Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
