Status: online 		Well I retired my Morris the Knife after hundreds of flights and loads of fun and learning. I want to replace it with another profile and think the Mojo 40 is the way to go. I have my trusty Saito 72 to go on the nose

Question is are there any other profiles out there I should consider and what are they. I've done some searches but they are dated.

Any and all suggestions appreciated.


Pete

There are other great choices out there, but the Mojo 40 is where it all begins for me.

Kind of why I started the thread. I had a Morris the Knife ARF and it was a great plane dispite being heavy. The ARF's come in about a half pound or more heavier than the kit. The Saito 72 was the perfect engine for it.

Read a lot on the OMP edge and other profiles in the 40 size. The Mojo has been out awhile and still seems to have a very loyal following.

Not sure when Paul will get another shipment of the ARF version looks like I'm going to order the kit with the option of removing the wings.

I'm not sure at whom your question was directed, but I've never flown a slide. I've heard a lot about them, they're quite popular on that forbidden internet site that focuses on profiles and brotherhood.

I like the Mojo .40 too. It is a great flying airplane, easy to build and very strong. I power mine with an OS .55AX

Status: offline 		The Mojo is a very easy build. If you've done any other kit, you can build the Mojo. I built my Mojo .40 in three days. Just open the box, pour in some CA and shake.

The 02-55 will be a laser cut short kit. Balsa sheeted foam core fuse. I have a kit ordered, and I'll take some pictures when it arrives. I did not build the 02-55 I own, it was one of the prototypes. Paul Swanson built part of this plane, maybe he can chime in with how the build was.

Status: offline 		do you think an 55ax will have enough power for a mojo?
i ask this question because the altitude where i fly is about 21000 feet so....my lanier radical doesnt have much power left to pull out of a hover

The .55AX is incredible power for the Mojo. It is a pretty light building plane. Of course, on the top of Everest I'm not sure how well any normally asperated engine will run.

The two fields where I fly are at 600' and 1100' MSL. I just checked out the cook islands and Google said the highest point was 2139 feet, so assuming a typo, if it's really 2100 feet, the .55AX should be fine.
