Status: offline 		My Radical 330 arrived last night by UPS. I opened the box and was impressed with the 3-D Profile. Covering was excellent. Will start assembling today.

I have been flying an AirfoilZ Foamy Electric Yak. This was my first 3-D electric. I have enjoyed flying it as well. Looking forward to seeing how a glow powered 3-D is different to the electric.

I have one of the E.F. Chinn Yak on order. That being said, I probably will build a Mojo Kit sometime in the future. It seems that everyone that flies 3-D Profile Aircraft, have a MoJo!

I guess I have the 3-D Bug?

Status: offline 		MOJO Baybee!!!

mojo's are the BEST profile for learning on bar none.
get the kit,shake the box and out comes a mojo
its easily one of the easiest kit built planes i've touched
probro has a build for dummies thread if you need help.

oh yeah, still flying the radical, check your clevis' one split on me, made the rudder 'feel' weird in the air, lucky it didnt come off, maybe change them out to the dubro safety clevis or at least put some ca on em'

Status: offline 		Thanks for the heads up on the clevis! Just started my assembly and will probably replace most, if not all, hardware. I want a mojo so bad! New house with major clutter, Employer purchased by another company=more work, and barely enough time to assemble, much less to build=NO MOJO It sucks when you can't get your mojo on!

Status: offline 		Well I just ordered one! I was wondering if I would be off my rocker to use a Tower .75. I don't have a .46 handy, but I've got the tower 75 all broke in and no where to go.

I always replace the clevis' on my planes. I like the Dubro ones.

Status: offline 		You might try an APC 13x4W. I used this on a Magnum 70 that was mounted on an Accel Katana. It had a nice sweet spot for hovering that was slightly more than half throttle. I did try the APC 14x4W, but I found I didn't like the way it would spool up when pulling out. I'm sure you can get many more opinions...just my .02

Status: offline 		I'm putting a 15x4W on my Saito 82. I'm waiting on my servo and servo extension order to finish building. No rush. It's too wet and cold here to fly.

Status: offline 		Does anyone have a rtf weight of this plane? If so what is your setup? I will be using a 2 cell 640mah lipo and a magnum 52 2 stroke. I just ported the magnum and will be running it on 30% with a macs pipe and header. I am hoping for 15000 rpm on an apc 12x4.

Status: offline 		i dont have my plane here with me but as far as i remember, the top of both tie wraps go through the lightening holes. drill the whole for the tiewrap as low as possibe since there is a small piece of wood, which will stop the covering from ripping off.
any questions you can pm me.

Status: offline 		I am getting close to finishing the 330. All servos installed and the control rods are all finished except one. Landing gear is on the plane. Need to install engine and fuel tank, then balance. Hope to fly later in the week.

I am setting up the throws to be 45 degrees on high rate and about 20 degrees on low rate. Expo at 50%. Does that sound correct????
