3W Votec 322
Wow!!!! That is the only word that
can describe our new 3W Votec. It is simply awsome
and the best flying plane that I have ever flown.
It does everything with ease. We have a 3 bladed
prop on the 3W 150 QS and have power left. I just
need some time to practice and I will be trouble
in IMAC. It is absolutely the best airplane that
I have ever flown. It stops on the snaps very
crisp, as soon as you get off the sticks it .....stops.
I have not started 3D with this plane as of yet
but over the winter I will start flying 3D.
About our
Votec:
Test Flown (all pictures are on
first day) September 7, 2003, Triple Tree Aerodrome,
Woodruff, SC.
Appeared in Aircraft International
advertisement Winter issue 2003.
We used Dupont base coat clear coat
on the fuse and monokote on the wings, stab, elevators
and rudder. The colors matched great!
As stated earlier, it is powered
by a 3W 150 QS with Pefa cans running a Mejelik
3 bladed 28.5 X 12 prop and Paragon 5.5"
spinner.
Radio equipment is all JR supporting
12 - 8411 servos, (3 each aileron, 4 rudder, 2
each elevator) 1 throttle servo 8141 (I can't
never remember that number) 5 matchboxes, 2 -
955 recievers, all guided by JR 10 SX transmitter.
This is a lot of radio and we depend on 2-Duralite
Plus 3600 MAH batteries for the radio system and
1 1900 for the ignition. I have flown 7 -15 min
flights in one day with power left over in all
batteries.
I was very nervous about flying
it for the first time. After lift off, my nerves
where suddenly gone. The plane took on click of
right aileron and 2 clicks of down elevator. Mixing
was minimal on the pitch and maybe one percent
on roll.
I hope to see you soon at a contest
or fly-in so that you can see (or feel) just how
great this 3W Votec really is. Words nor pictures
can do it justice. For sure
my next plane will be another 3W Votec!
I recommend this plane highly and
can be bought at Aircraft
International. Talk to Gerhard, just remember
to tell him that you read about this plane from
my site.
Thanks
Stan
