Building a 62" profile from general hobby. Has anyone ever built one like this. I beleive its a cap 232 but has characteristics of an edge. I am putting a os 91 Fx on this plane and if anyone can give me any advise(due to this being the second plane ive built) I would take any advise I can get. Thx.

This is my second profile. This one appears to be totally different and has no manual whatso ever. I am hoping someone has at least seen this profile . I hate to procrastinate on my equipment. Either way If anyone can give any advise I would appreciate it. THX!!!!!!!!

The plane is about ready to test fly. I put a 91 fx two stroke on it with a 15x4 apc prop. Our club president ran my engine on his break in stand and donated a whole gal of fuel to the cause. amazing how much change and better the engine ran after throughout the break in. It is horrible watching other poeple take a engine from the box to the air.I am taking a chance with ds821 servos on the ailerons,rudder and elevator. AR7000 spektrum receiver and I put a aeroworks .60-.90 tail wheel on it. I also put a set or the omp tetherlite landing gear on the front (the other landing gear was very wobbly). I have no idea were to set the cg so we are going with 5". Were having a fun fly on the 1st so i will get pics of it on here then. Just updating the progress.

Personally I would have put an OS 1.20 on it and used a 17X6 prop. How much does she weigh in at?

I have not weigh'd it yet. Feels heavy to me. President of our club is supposed to weigh it sometime this week. We have a new years fun fly Firiday and it will be the maiden flight. And your right about the engine, found out the 120ax is the same mounting as the 91fx. And the weight is 2 oz. more without the muffler. We spent a few hours uncovering the asphalt runnway yesterday hoping the weather cooperates. I will definately take some pics and post them this weekend.

I had a goog time at our fun fly also. Only problem was I could not get the 62" in the back of a Chevy Avalanche so I was forced to take my 48" Yak profile. Still a great time.I have to get a toneau cover for my full size pickup. But here is a pic of the new decals I put on it anyways.
