Chip Hyde Vision 3D 50cc

The Vision 3D is a highly aerobatic monoplane designed and sold by world
renowned aerobatic RC pilot Chip Hyde - multiple USA National, World and TOC champion. The model is fully capable of both precision F3A type aerobatics and full blown more extreme 3-D aerobatics.
The Vision 3D may be assembled rapidly due to plug-in wings and plug-in horizontal stabilizers. Not only does this make assembly at your flying site fast, but makes the model easy and accurate to construct.
The wings and stabilizers slide onto pre-fitted tubes and are aligned by anti-rotation pins. There is a minimal amount of gluing and drilling required to complete the assembly. This greatly reduces the time to assemble the model and get you to your flying site.
The Vision 3D can be disassembled and broken down into two wing panels, two stabilizer halves and a fuselage to facilitate transportation in almost any size of vehicle. The larger the vehicle, the less you will need to remove!
The Vision 3D is designed for gas motors in the 50-cc category. The recommended motor is the DA 50 that is shown in the assembly instructions. The final choice of power plant is left up to the builder.
A computer radio is recommended for the Vision 3D. This is primarily because then the Pilot can take advantage of the full capabilities of this model, using the various mixing and servo adjustments functions that are typically available.
Either a single or a pair of servos may be used for each aileron. The allows either a single high torque servo to be used to drive each aileron, or in the event only lower powered servos are available; a pair may be used.
