Ken Latam Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Seeing as the CMPro Discus is out of stook till further notice, I was looking at this 1.52m Fox.http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=360045827028&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=023Looks ok, and if it has the flimsy carbon rod like the CMPro arf's this will be much easy'r to rebuild the wings to a higher standard if needed.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Latam Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Ya know, the more I look at this Fox,the more I don't like it. It is rather small at 1.52m. the fuz is an inch shorter than my Dynaflight Talon(30.25"Fox- 31.4"Talon)the wings are 10" longer,but is it worth paying 3 times the price just to have a plastic(I can see it being a poor quality glass) fuz? For the extra $25 I may be better to wait and get the CMPro Discus with the 2.6m ,at least there is a lot of knowledge about it on-line.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Latam Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Good point. Maybe I should save all me quid and get both. That way I can complain about both.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Latam Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Well now that the CMPro Discus is no longer available I have ordered the RVM Fox II. With shipping it came to 49 quid or $97cdn. I will need to do a report on it when it arrives as I have not found any on it yet. But my main slope( The Face) is ready.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Latam Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Well my RVM Fox is ready. I just hope that Mr Estrada is up to the task. I do need to replace the 1/8th pinstripping around the canopy bottom for some1/4 inch.I did need to make mod's to it but i do like the way it came out.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Latam Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 It is the camera angle that make him look forward( tho he is 2 or 3 mm forward to assist in the C/G placement) This is a better angle.That and scale wise he would be about 7 feet tall. Wallmart just doesn't have figure's to fit the Fox. Bummer.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
