          I just received my revolution the other day. I finally looked at it last night. It appears ok but the instructions were NOT there. I looked it up online but motion rc didn't have them. I called motion and spoke with them. They said they were sorry and would send a instruction manual the next day. We shall see. I really just need the CG and control throws. If you can help, please do.

            Hey Paul, we just have to update them from their V1's. You can view the manual for the V1 which should be more than sufficient for the CG and control throws. https://www.motionrc.com/products/te...np#support-tab

              Just received my skynetics revolution. Well packaged. No instruction manual or pointer to online instructions. Thanks to this forum I did locate online instructions. They weren't very good. Wings not tight to fusalage, lots of wiggle. Very small battery/esc bay had to be enlarged to accomodate receiver. Four ozs of lead needed to achieve recommended cg! Next I'll see how it flies.

                Maiden flight needed lots of trim. Good landing but left landig gear carbon fiber leg broke. So much for Skynetics. You get what you pay for. Motion RC can do better.

                    I needed 5 ounces of weight in the nose. Not good... I was not impressed with the first flight.

                      I just got the Revolution. The manual says to use an 1800 to 2200mah battery and the plane doesn't balance. So I added 5oz of weight to get it to balance. It's not good at all to add weight especially 5oz of weight. Why don't they recommend and heavier battery to get the proper CG. For my first 3D prop plane this is designed wrong. The way its supposed to be is that if I used 1800 or 2200 it should CG. Not add 5oz. The plane looks nice but that is about it.

                        I agree completely. I have no desire to fly it again the way it is. I will either strip the electronics out of it to use in another plane, or try a bigger (heavier) motor in it, and probably a bigger battery as well.

                        I am glad to hear that that I'm not the only one who determined that it need a ridiculous amount of nose weight.
