Ernie Misner -> Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (4/28/2008 9:01:56 PM)

Greetings, I'm looking for ideas for the best profile plane for the OX 55AX. Lots of guys are saying that the 46AX is more than enough power for the profiles, but the 55 does weigh over an ounce more than the 46.... and I already have a new 55AX looking for a home.

I would think the best profile for the 55AX would have slightly more wing area or handle the slightly heavier engine better. Perhaps the weight of the 55 doesn't matter that much though ... ?

Thanks,

Ernie

Well I have a 55AX on my PRIMO and it is a wonderful machine. I don't think you would have any problems bolting it on any of the 40 sized profiles there. OMP makes some really nice ones

I have an OS 55AX in an Accel Katana GS and it's a very good matchI have over twenty planes and this is one of my favorites! Had a 46AX in it first and that was alright, but this 55 really rocks!

Ernie Misner -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/1/2008 9:20:37 PM)

Who sells that Accel Katana? Have a link?

Thanks,

Ernie



TailTwister -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/2/2008 2:15:55 AM)

I think the Accel Katana is no mas...

A Boxxer ARF would be good as well.

Gustof Wind -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/5/2008 4:57:04 AM)

go to accelhobby.com as I recall, Gustof



TailTwister -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/6/2008 1:03:07 AM)

They have been out of Kat 40s for some time...



Stubshaft -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/7/2008 2:23:29 AM)

Drop the 55AX in anything from an Edge 540V3 from OMP, Primo from Swanyshouse or Slide 48 from Texas Hobbies. You can never have too much power...



TailTwister -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/7/2008 2:35:22 AM)

No, but you can have too much weight...

Any of the OMP 40 size slabs will be outstanding with a 55AX yanking it around. The OMP planes will handle the extra ounce and a half without knowing its there.

I have an OMP 65" Yak that I have an Enya 120R mounted on and tail weight to make it balance. It is the heaviest 65" yak I've ever seen and it is so light on its feet you can't tell its heavier than any of the others out there.



Ernie Misner -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/11/2008 7:34:33 AM)

Thanks Fuelman and everyone else for the great replies. Now.... gotta get in gear and place some kind of an order!

rhd-RCU -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/11/2008 2:49:07 PM)

Chinn Yak



rclement -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/11/2008 2:57:57 PM)

I like the Chinn Yak too. Looks nice to me.



BlackB12 -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/12/2008 4:58:37 PM)

With the tower muffler on the 55ax it's not that much heavier than a 46ax with the stock muffler. Just something to consider. I have the 55ax on a Primo and have run both 15% and 10% through it. Still not one deadstick in about 5 gallons of running. I think any 40 size profile will be fine with a 55ax.

Ernie Misner -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/12/2008 8:37:10 PM)

Hey Mike and guys running the Tower muffler is it annoyingly loud? Could get away with it on fields with noise restrictions perhaps?

Thanks,

Ernie



BlackB12 -> RE: Best profile for the OS 55 AX? (5/17/2008 7:05:05 PM)

It's louder than the stock muffler but not annoyingly loud when propped right. I've heard tower mufflers on thunder tigre pro 46's and they are much louder due to them turning more rpms than the 55ax. I have no decibel level for you though.

OMP V3 Yak. Here's mine.
