Now that the end of the year is near, has anyone heard any more on the ETA of the SV-11 ARC? Is it on schedule? Sounds like another great ARC from Brodak.

I spoke with John about 2 weeks ago and he told me they would be in at the end of the year, so not much has changed.

Rudy Taube · « **Reply #3 on:** October 21, 2009, 06:27:20 PM »

Good news. Thank you William. :-)

Steve Helmick · « **Reply #4 on:** December 19, 2009, 03:22:37 PM »

Anybody have another update on the SV-11? Actually, I'd prefer a Shrike ARC, but I'll take what I can git.

John Paris · « **Reply #5 on:** December 20, 2009, 07:28:42 PM »

Steve,
I received an email from John that they will not have any SVs until the spring time.

They keep puting the SV-11 off so I don't think you will see them for a long time.

I would guess it's economics, John (or anyone) can afford to only have so much capitol tied up in ARF's at any one time. Could very well be he is at his limit with the stuff he does have in stock and has to wait till his inventory has returned enough to pay for the next container.

Or could be he is having delivery issued from China, in either case it's pretty much out of his control.

that is correct.

Besides... John is pretty much a one man show. He is also the importer for UHP ARFs...

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if there will be any ARC's so we can be eligible for APs? ..... or are they all ARF's? TIA :-)

peabody · « **Reply #11 on:** March 26, 2010, 04:01:09 PM »

Hi Rudy...
I understand that both ARCs and ARFs will be in the first batch, and that they are "on the water".....SOON!

I would be interested to see what the colour scheme looks like on the ARF when it comes out.

Ward Van Duzer · « **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:20:13 AM »

Randy,

Plz correct me if I'm wrong...My understanding the SV-11 Arf will be a larger sized Airplane than the original SV-11. That it has more wing, and moments designed for the larger (piped .75) engines. Personally, I was hoping for the original (small) version I could put my piped OS .46 RE in.

No it will be the exact same size wing area, the nose is the same, the tail moment is a little longer and the fuse is a little wider

Tom Dixon (right? blue and white on the table near Tom?) had an SV-11 from the shipment at Huntersville. I saw the plane, but got distracted by something or other, and never followed up. Just checked the Brodak web site, no mention of it there.
Oddly, I don't remember anyone talking about it. Perhaps I misunderstood? Randy should know --

The ARFs are supposed to have the higher end Plastic coat, and the ARCs will be naked

Greetings and welcome! We are all still waiting. Its probably en route. I think everyone is afraid to say anything for fear of either jinxing when it gets here or being quoted as giving a date. You will no doubt hear it first here though.

15 months since I started this post. I have moved on as I didn't care for the prototype that Randy had at Huntersville. Landing gear is in the wing.

Would you have a picture of the prototype SV-11?

Cool...I got a email note from a local, unnamed buddy...he says that Brodak called or emailed him, or maybe he called them. But they're shipping him two SV-11 ARC's next week...end of July/early August...and did I want one? And now, I see the LG is in the wing! How cool is that???

I called Brodak today. The planes will be in next week. The arc is $189 and teh arf $199. Probably cents on the end of those figures.

Hi Randy,

Two part wing is good news for world wide customers, as it can be mailed out of the country.

What about the covering quality and brand used on the ARF ones?

Mark Allen · « **Reply #44 on:** July 28, 2010, 05:31:21 AM »

Hi Martin

I have not seen the production run but I was told the models had the much better covering, and not the old type they used on others

The model can be setup with an RE engine with very little work by adding sealing balsa and fuel proof the inside pipe mount

Rudy Taube · « **Reply #48 on:** July 29, 2010, 11:50:43 PM »

Hi Randy,

RE: your ARF colors. Can we assume that ALL the planes are mostly white with the different colors in the trim?

ex: The plane shown on your site is mostly white with "blue" on the front/top of the fuse and trim on the wing. Does this mean that the "Red" color ARF will be mostly white with red where the blue is on your photo?

I know, I should just wait for your photos! ;-)

Get the ARC and finish it the way you want. I will not have another ARF.
