best profile arf for ke and rolling circles
well looking to pick up a new profile looking for an arf cause i dont have enough room to build want one that has no coupling in ke and would be good for rolling circles and flatspins.

OMP Fusion if it needs to be an ARF. It has a bit longer tail moment and is a great rolling trainer.
As for coupling, on any airframe, a lot of that is determined by how it's set up.

Any profile will flat spin with enough control throw and engine/motor power. Most have a bit of coupling but you can dial that out with setup or computer radio. Any plane is capable of rolling circles if you have the skills.

Andrew Jesky got a chance to fly the 67" Fusion at the Dayton Ohio Giant Scale meet and commented that it was the best pattern profile he's ever flown. He specifically commented on how nice the rolling circles were. KE coupling is non existent with the plane properly balanced.

RE: best profile arf for ke and rolling circles
All three are very different. The ProYak is the choice for pure traditional 3d funflying style. It has a fairly conventional layout with all the modern features of todays top profiles. The Fusion is designed for both precision and 3D flying. If you want to mix precision flying with 3D (freestyle flying) then the Fusion is the answer. The Razoryak is a pure 3D animal with a very short nose and huge tail surfaces. It is designed for on the edge, twist your tail off type of flying. Very loose airplane and only for the most experienced 3d pilots.

A guy on another site mentioned that he used an OS 120AX on a RazorYak. He said it balanced great and had crazy power. The Fusion 90 will do an awesome knife edge and great rolling circles. Another option for that 55AX is a Sabre 40 ARF from valuehobby.
