REVOLT

hey Larry Mednick here wanted to take you around show you some of the features that are on the revolt starting off and a lot of these features are optional this is a very loaded up revolt this is our six blade Excalibur propeller it offers the most static thrust out of any propeller that we've ever tested if you're looking to get out of a short field you will not get more power than this six bladed propeller over here we have the ckt seamless stainless steel exhaust system and this entire motor is mounted on a Dyna focal firewall style motor mount system so it's very very very smooth you have a electric fan for the radiator so if you're in the desert or somewhere where it's extremely hot this machine will not overheat and it can sit at idle on the ground with no temperature problems it's controlled by a digital thermostat that's programmable so you can actually literally make this engine run any temperature you want for starting the engine we use an earth x ET x 680 this is a 380 dollar battery standard on the revolt coming down here this is one of my favorite parts the CNC axle carrier if you notice this hole here this is a tie-down point and it's nice and round and soft so it doesn't hurt any of your straps and that holds the three quarter inch hardened chromoly axle we've got pinched set screws that takes any slop out of the axles and then down below this is a dual hydraulic brake so there's four brake pads and two Pistons on this disc brake it's a braided stainless steel brake line and then coming up this way you'll see we've got an eighteen point seven gallon fuel tank so that gives you an over an eight-hour endurance it could be less if you're flying it faster or harder up top you've got the BRS the 1050 parachute these are actual Fox gas charge shocks with seven inches of travel then if you'll notice we're using the fire sleeved fuel lines and the rest of all the lines are air equipped so these are the oil lines there's no hose clamp anywhere coming around this way you get a glimpse we've got the Whelan all led nav strobe position lights standard is the Curtis oil quick drain so you can do oil changes on this in just a matter of a couple of minutes also Stander's an electric fuel pump and an oil thermostat down here you'll see these are the standard 21 inch these are the small street tires that we have we have much larger off field tires available as well as an option for getting in and out of the aircraft you simply push the seat out of the way and then you can step here here and into the back one of the neatest things about the revolt is the seating the seating on this allows the passenger to look straight forward and they're not looking at the back of the pilots head this particular model has the fully removable roll cage with windscreen and this windscreen is enough that the person in the back seat does not need any eye protection even at 80 miles per hour which is the fast cruise when using the electric trim and the high-performance rival acts option as the wing you'll notice and it may be hard for the camera to pick up but these LEDs match the powder coat exactly and that's fully programmable LED lighting extremely bright this is the wind shield bracket mounts so you can run a frameless windshield in lieu of this whole roll cage system if you'll notice the pedals are modular so these pedals can go up or down the forks they're not quick adjust but you can set it up exactly for your height so very tall pilot might have them down here a very short pilot may prefer them up here if you look at the parking brake system it's a hydraulic valve so just apply the brake turn the valve like so and you've got a great parking brake that'll hold the aircraft in place the ignition is keyed so your Magneto's are right on the key just like if you were flying a ga certified aircraft in fact all of the wire in this machine is tefzel aircraft wire and it used the ground seeking master solenoid to connect power to the entire system we have the color mg/l extreme system here very very nice engine monitoring it also gives us ground speed airspeed vsi altimeter and then we can go to straight engine monitoring as well we also have a fully adjustable steering damper so that can be adjusted tight or loosened up and then if you look back towards the center of the trike you'll see we have an all-aluminum CNC Gasca later so this is a water separating type fuel filter and that house that has a Curtiss quick drain at the bottom so that you can dump water check for water this wing is connected by a very very robust CNC hang block and that uses a half-inch hang bolt to connect the wing to the trike we also have the rear steer assembly and this is for the instructor to be able to have the ground control as well and then if you'll zoom out a little bit you'll see this wing is fluorescent yellow and one of the newer things for this year is that we have colored top surfaces for the wings now so not only is this fluorescent yellow on the bottom to match the trike but the top of the wing is also fluorescent yellow as well so this thing can really be seen by other aircraft when it's flying in the air you'll notice the turbulator on top of the wing and that helps the aircraft to do incredibly short takeoffs and slow flight without stalling you you
