Tom Mathes just sent me these pictures and the info on his beautifully completed Revolution II. Thanks Tom!
Here are a few pictures of the Revolution II. First flight 4/26/03. for the completions section.
  • T/0 distance 400 feet. Climb 800-1000 fpm.
  • Cruise 100 mph at 2400 rpm.
  • Power off stall 48 mph.
  • Final approach speed 75-80 mph.
  • Lycoming 0-235 prop combination from a Citabria.

Completed full stall tests today. Gentle with no wing drop in all attitudes with ball in the center. Full stall and wheel landings are a non event if you pay attention. 6 hours at this time.
