INTRODUCTION
REV X is a STOL (short takeoff and landing) single seat trike powered by a Rotax 582 with
E box. Its most notable key features are NO FRONT STRUT, All wheel suspension and it
Folds onto its REV X trike dolly cart for set up and storage in under 10 minutes.
Components used are of the highest quality and technology on the market today. From the
battery to the engine, from the bolts to the Powder Coat, only the Best of the Best is used.
The Rotax 582 engine is dual ignition, liquid cooled, with a gear box. This system has
proven to be the highest quality, best running engine in its class. The Rotax provides a
surplus of power at 65 HP for impressive climb and continuous cruise.
Stopping power comes from the Black Max Super STOL braking system utilizing 2 calipers
and 4 brake pads all on one rotor!
The suspension comes from 4 "flex rods". The entire front end is a swing arm giving the
nose wheel equal travel. The entire front end disconnects and "unplugs" to fold the trike in
lieu of a folding mast. In its folded form the rear wheels are lifted off the ground creating a
counterbalance effect which makes putting the wing up and down quite effortless.
Instrumentation comes from a super bright color display from MGL. The Xtreme EFIS
provides valuable information about the engine and flight.

1. Cantilever mast with no front strut required

PROPELLER
WARNING
Before turning the propeller with the hand, always verify attentively that the
driving ignition is off.
Any running propeller can present a potential danger for the pilot, the passenger and/or
the spectators. Never let non pilots touch the propeller, even when the engine is stopped.
Always be extremely careful as soon as an engine equipped with a propeller may turn.
NOTE:
Each prop blade as well as the prop crush plate has a colored dot which must line up
for the purpose of dynamic balance.
Torque and Pitch Maintenance
Torque: 100 inch pounds
10 minutes after first assembly, engine warm.
After the first flight hour.
As many as necessary, and at minimum every 25 hours and/or every 3
months.
Before each flight:
Visual inspection of the propeller and checking of the screws.
If an incident or prop strike require repair, this must be approved by Helices E-PROPS in
its workshops, or by a specialist after discussion with the E-PROP Team.
All the blades have a reference number and a serial number. These references are
important for determining with the E-PROP team what modifications or the possible
replacement in necessary. The final checks of the propeller, and in particular balancing, are
made by He lices E-PROPS before the delivery. Any modification of the propeller can
damage the balancing and generate vibrations which could damage the engine.
