Victory RES (thoughts)

[Superman]

I was looking at this plane and thought it was interesting... I was wondering if anyone has had one or seen one fly or anything like that... I am just looking for some ezone opinion!

I've never flown one, but have been beat by one many times. This should tell you that-

A. It's a really good plane with a really good pilot at the time-

B. I'm a lousy pilot.

I'd like to think it's A. :D

[Ollie]

I've observed Rusty fly in many contests and I KNOW it's A.

[R. Carver]

Awww shucks, Ollie! Yer makin' me blush! ;)

Superman, it's a really nice plane...Vac-bagged wings, launches to the moon, long legs, etc...

[D-Woods]

Ive beat Rusty before, it could be B. But ive seen his A days too.

I have beat one before and have been beaten by one.

It's a very clean wing.

Back to the original thread...

I had one and loved it. I sold it only because I had too many planes and knew I'd never fly this in a contest.

The original plane had a weak fuze that has been corrected, as per NSP. I had to replace mine with an Addiction fuze and stabs which gave me a longer nose and lighter tail (saved me about 7 ozs!).

Here it is with the original fuze (click on each image to see a larger version)...

Here it is with the Addiction fuze. I called it the Addictory...

I had Multiplex contest spoilers installed driven by 2 HS-55 servos and they would slow the thing down to a crawl. Really helped with spot landings.

Be aware of one thing. The wings need to be cut and my kit had no instructions on what angles to cut. I found a Excel spread sheet program on the web that helped there. Cutting was a little tricky and if the kit comes with each wing one piece, contact me and I'll tell you the best way to do it.

Come up to Covina next months contest and I will let you fly my Marauder. Or we can go down to Long Beach and do some flying there.

Mr. B...

Are you going to the SC-2 on sunday?

-Clark

[Mr B....]

I don't fly SC2 very much maybe twice a year.
I will be working in the shop and watching the Nascar race.
Call me and come on by.
