Hello,
I have been flying the Omega 3 the past year. I
liked it enough I got another one for next year. I have seen the other
emails about the Omega. To clear up a few things, I don't believe the
airfoil is a true 7038, if you take a pattern against it, the airfoil is thinner
than a 7038. I have not had too many problems with penetration, even if
you did there is a ballast box in the center of the wing to add weight.
The plane is well built and is not that fragile. The solid part of the
wing and tails is molded foam with fiberglass skins. I actually
caught one of the v-tails in the sliding door on my van. It bent the
tail up, but I was able to repair it and finish the flying season. I
didn't set the plane up for the six servos in the wing. The outer bay will
accept a JR 241 with no problem, but I didn't like the programming on the Stylus
to support 6 independent wing servos. I slaved the outer aileron to the
inner one and used 4 servos. It hasn't adversely affected the
performance. Over the Christmas break in the Southern California contest
season, I will be making repairs to the airframe and then outfit the new one for
the next contest season.
One side note, the wing span is 130 inches and the
flying weight of the plane with JR331 servos for the v-tails, I think I am using
HS225MG for the flaps and HS225BB for the ailerons and a 1100mah
battery is 64 ounces. It is a squeeze to get the servos in the
fuselage and not the tip aileron servos. The JR331 servos are small but
the servos have to be staggered to get clearance the arms.
If you want any pictures of my setup please let me
know and I can email some to you.
