I was in contact with John Brodak and he said the SV-11 is not due till the end of the year.

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. y1
-
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.
-
Good news. Thank you William. :-)
-
Anybody have another update on the SV-11? Actually, I'd prefer a Shrike ARC, but I'll take what I can git. LL~
-
Steve,
I received an email from John that they will not have any SVs until the spring time.
John
-
They keep puting the SV-11 off so I don't think you will see them for a long time.
Ed

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...

I spoke with John last week, he told me they would be in around March.

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 :-)
-
Hi Rudy...
I understand that both ARCs and ARFs will be in the first batch, and that they are "on the water".....SOON!
-
Somebody post as soon as they are here.
Ed
-
I would be interested to see what the colour scheme looks like on the ARF when it comes out.
-
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

John Told me the SV-11s are about to be shipped now, so It should not be much longer and they will be in the US

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 --

Randy:
Will you be selling those, and will there be an ARC version ?

Hi Yes I will be selling all ARFs and ARCs
As I now do.
The ARFs are supposed to have the higher end Plastic coat, and the ARCs will be naked

So Randy, will that ARF SV-11 you had at Huntersville be flying this weekend at Marietta? y1

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.

Thanks, Randy. Do you have a *BALLPARK* (nothing to be held to) price guess?

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.
Ed

Hi Randy,
Can you tell me if the ARF/ARC kits will come with split wings or full wings?
Cheers,
Martin

Hi Ed,
Would you have a picture of the prototype SV-11?
-
Joe I didn't take any pictures as the plane was in the back of Randys van. I don't know why Randy has not posted a picture.

This is one of the colors of the New SV-11 ARF ARC
Randy

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??? VD~ LL~ Steve

Thanks for the pictures, Randy. Any price quotes, yet, for the ARF, ARC?
Bill
-
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 Bill
The cost will be as Bob posted above, plus shipping cost

Randy
What kind of a motor mount systems will these planes have? Will it be traditional beam mounts or a bulkhead system like the T-Rex?
bob branch

Hi Bob
They have wood beam mounts
Randy

The trailer from China came in today (7/27/10) at Brodaks. They are in the process of unloading it.

What are the ballpark shipping cost these days for ARF's ?
-
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?
Martin
-
Is this one done to where we could mount a RE engine and pipe in it?

Martin
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
Randy
-
Hi All
The SV-11 ARFs and ARCs are now in stock
www.aeroproduct.net
Randy
-
Randy,
Can you post some pictures so we can see the different color trims?
Martin
p.s. I didnīt get the pipes yet, if you could please send me a tracking no, the other package is ok.
-
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. H^^
-
I received my sv-11 arf today. Everything in the box comes out to 34.2 oz. That is the entire airframe with controls and landing gear and tires less power system. Mine will be getting an arrowind 2832 motor and 4S rhino 2700 mah pack. All up weight will be under 60 oz. Oh, cowl is carbon fiber layup.

Here are pics of the first trial assembly of my SV-11 ARF. I will be doing it as an electric and will do a build thread in the electric forum. This teh "white" color option.

one last view

lets try that one one more time

Hey Bob,
Does this one include some newer hinges? The ones that came with the ARC Cardinal were pretty decent.
John
-
John
The hinges are an improvement on what I have seen from Brodak before. No glitching in any that I have found. Very consistent. A little thicker than Durbro which in an arf with precut slots makes a lot of sense as the slot cutters are thicker than dubros.

Posted a first flight report on my electric sv-11 in the build thread in the electric forum tonight. Its nice
bob branch #^
-
Great test flight report - WTG Bob! & Randy!! & John Brodak!!! H^^ #^ ;D
So does Bob get the "first SV on the block FLYING" award??? ??? 8)
-
Now that is mucho better pictures. A shop that is almost as messy as mine. Oh, forgot this is about the plane. It looks great.. Now I got to go read the flight report. D>K
-
John
I apologize. I do feel very badly. But my shop finally got so I could not even walk thru it..... well, for 6 months. After that long I finally decided that I did have to clean it up so it is now as you see very managable. I compliment you on yours. y1 A neat shop is the sign of a sick mind. I have 4 workbenches. When I cannot find the same tool for 2 weeks I will clean up one. Tool always shows up and I'm set for a few months. As I have witnessed above, every 7 years I have to clean the entire thing so I can move around. I've tried to capture it in pics but they do not do credit. Ask Rick Sawicki or Frank Carlisle. They have witnessed it.
