Revolution Mini 500 - is it buildable?
Stuart & Kathryn Fields wrote:
Dennis: Ken's article referred to a vibration level in the Mini of 10 IPS before the mast and other mods were made. Is this accurate? I've never experienced more than 2.0 IPS in my Baby Belle and it got my immediate attention. Dear Stuart @ Kathryn, Sorry to take so long to answer, I was out of the country on a business trip. Thank you for reading the KitPlanes article. You are correct in thinking the IPS level in the article is to high. That was a typo. It is supposed to read "1.0", not "10". BTW my wife's comment that it had to have two seats stopped me from buying a Mini. I've talked to a few Mini drivers who seem to be satisfied with their ride. My experience with the magazine has indicated there is a wide variety of helicopter owners and what they look for as good in a ship. Yes, we have had many happy owners, as you can see in the old KitPlanes Completions section of the magazine. Thank you for taking the time to write the nice comments, and best of luck. Most sincerely, Dennis Fetters |

It's not logical, but I've always wanted to get the rating. Then again when people look at that K1A5 IO-540 and then the engine mount on the front of the G-III fuselage they almost always utter those famous words, "You're going to put that...Where?" P.S. ARRL group does not meet here, either. :-) Sure we do. Didn't any one give your the recognition sign. We have to talk in code so no one recognizes us, unless we start talking about BPL.:-)) 73 Roger Barnyard BOb - native of Hartford Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |
