I would have gone to nall and all the others, but my mom would not have I am willing to drive atleast 12 hours for a big event. The problem with the state college one is I have to drag someone along with me becaus I will only have my permit.

I am.

70" Velox getting a work out at the NJ FLI

3DHS Velox 70 Gas - Pilot joe Smith (5 min 1 sec)

That plane is a beauty, both in air and on the ground. Pardon my noobness, but is the Velox based on a full scale model, or is it a r/c native design?

Great video Jim! Looking forward to the rest of them.

It is based on the full scale Velox Revolution 1. Awesome airplane, and I think the only full scale aerobatic plane with SFG's (although there they served more as wing fences I believe).

Some serious stress testing at the end there

It looks too short compared to my 3DHS SV airframe. The fuse and the rudder ain't long enough?

which isn't long enough?... most full scale planes are greatly altered to get the performance we have come to appreciate and expect. But that is indeed the full scale Velox that was the inspiration, but many liberties were taken... Scott has much appreciation for the full scale planes and tried to keep details in the models... but the Velox had more liberties taken with it, with the view of getting the best performing RC plane without getting hung up about being scale... which has a lot to do with why the model performs as well as it does, it truly rocks.

You can scale down the plane but not the air. RC planes get things moved around and sizes of things are changed mainly to get the rc versions to fly good/right/correct. Here is a good example you don't notice unless you actually look over them and compare.

Look at the full scale beast horizontal stab



Look at the rc beast horizontal stab is much lower



When I talked to Quique he said it was horrible with the stab up higher on the rc version.
