RE: PROFI RAMBLER .049
They take off in about 5 feet if they are light.Landings would likely break them. I have been thinking of a B speed plane made like a proto with big wheels for the grass, but am afraid of tipping over on landings and breaking the pipe and stuff.There are lots of dune buggy .28 motors around cheap, used, to convert. A Novarossi is on my shopping list but I can't sneak it into the house. The black one is from about 1975 before the proto rules changed to profile proto. They were about 80 mph then I would imagine the Profi and Fora would do over 100? Most of the guys now with the profile proto's are in the mid 80 mph range. Some are better, the speed planes are way better, maybe 140 with a pipe. The rules are different than before. I think it is 10% nitro and who knows what else. I think the lines are still .010" x 42' for the profile proto.
