As for the servos, I will take the HS-625's out of my Funtana 90s since I don't like it nearly as much as my twist. Heck they are only .22oz heavier than the 605's.

Status: offline 		After you fly a good profile such as the mojo you will forget all about that twist! I agree they are a good bang for the buck, and prolly an excellant sport flyer but are not a serious 3D plane. There is a lot more to 3D than just haging on the prop you know!

I am sure the 625's will be ok in the mojo. They are overkill but so are the 605's! At some point I am going to build another Mojo, just for a back up. They are so easy to build I figre why not??

Status: offline 		Dave, I have standard Futuba 3004 servos in both of my OMP Edges and they work just fine. I use a HS-55 for the throttle. Of course, I am just a beginner at 3D, so please take fact that into account. I have never flown anything with faster, more powerful servos, so I'm not sure just what that difference would be in flying characteristics. Good luck with your MOJO.

Status: offline 		Well I have my wing framed up and now need to sheet it. I hate sheeting. Hey Capthis I am taking your advice and giving up on my twist. I torn it up a week or two ago and instead of fixing it I am using the gear out of it for my Mojo.

Status: offline 		That's the beauty of the Mojo design. Very little sheeting. I like you really don't care to sheet things but it is necessary. If you wet one side of the balsa only it will begin to take shap of the wing ribs as it curls up. I just use a wet paper towel, and get one side nice and damp. The sheeting of the mojo is very easy, and will only take a few minutes, and you'll be done.

I think after you get to flying a plane such as the Mojo, you will soon forget all about that twist. You'll most likely wonder why you ever wasted time with it in the first place. I have completely flown the crap out of mine, and really enjoy it.

Paul is coming out with a larger size Mojo for 60 2-strokes, and 91 4-strokes which will have a 55 inch wing. You can bet I will most likely have to get one of those as well.

Hey Bryan! I'm like you, I hate sheeting wings! I sheeted the wing on my Mojo the other night and was surprised at how easy it went on! Just wet that puppy down, and in no time it's ready to glue down. You just have to take your time.

How about that 60 size Mojo?!?!?! I haven't even finished my 40 size, and Paul already has a 60 size almost ready to sell! Dude, I can't keep up! I put my name in with Pauly for one of the kits when it's ready. It should really rock with a Saito 91!

Status: offline 		Dave be sure and pin that wing back down to the board before you install the leading, and trailing edge sheeting. I usually completely finish one side of the wing before un pinning to make sure the wing stays straight. That wing will not be straight if you do not pin it back down. Also keep it pinned while you install the shear webs as well.

The last thing in the world you want is a wing with a big warp in it.

From your pics it looks like you are doing fine so far, so keep up the good work! After you build a few profiles you won't even need the instructions. I very briefly looked through my mojo instructions before starting.


Hey Razor, Send the new (60) kit to me. I can have it back to you ready for covering in a couple weeks. I'll build it for you pretty reasonable!
