You are more than welcome. I hope everyone gives a MOJO a try. Whether you are serious into 3D or want a capable sport plane you can't go wrong with one of these.

A lot of people fly MOJO's because thet fly nice and a lot of MOJO's are still flying because they are tough.

Extreme Flight Edge 540 is a great first profile, as I'm finding out

My vote is for the Hyperion Yak 54 40e. Oh yes, and I would keep it electric on 5s lipo's. This plane is amazing light at only 5lbs. If you have not seen the video of Scott Stoops flying it, well maybe you should. Here you go.

The UCanDo3D is a very nice offering. Can be easy as pie to fly but also very wild. Great for learning high alpha stuff...

Dave,

I agree on the u-can-do, the only thing I would do with that is change out the stock landing gear, reenforce the landing gear area with fiberglass cloth and put in a nice pair of carbon fiber landing gear. This is the weakest spot on this plane(and most).

I have owned all planes mentioned in this thread except the mojo (and Im sure thats coming soon). With that I will say I have owned many great profiles and YES they are very easy to 3D with. Out of the planes you mentioned the Fliton Extra is the most capable plane for 3D, though not the easiest to learn 3D on. I outgrew the UCANDO fast, the Funtana 40 is alright but lacks a lot. The Fliton is a plane I dont think I will ever outgrow. It will perform with the best of them. Its not as good as my EF Yak but its a real close comparison.

If your looking for something to throw a BB .46 and standard servos on and expect awesome 3D then the ONLY way to go is pro bro baby

If your looking to spend some money on a four stroke and want a plane to 3D and fly any IMAC sequence you can throw at it then the Fliton Extra is the ticket.

What I find interesting is the game is about marketing. Most who have flown the various planes will still vote for the FL 330, however its not as much in demand as something like the F40. See how marketing makes people buy things even when the plane has a nasty snap or will blow its wing.

I agree Tianci, Thats why I read these threads. All planes are fun in some way, but your right some are just awesome. I think you "marketed" the fliton 330 too well, noone has any that I have found.

SuperD - I just found that the FL330 is a vry pleasant plane to fly, it blew me away when I maidened mine, hence I have 2 more NIB now. No. 1 died a while back and soon I will get about to fixing No. 2 up. After trying all the most fashionable planes in the market the FL 330 is still the best I have flown. Soon I will be getting my hands on the glo/gas Extreme Flight planes and judging from the small Extra 300 EP I have flown I think the EF will be superb! If only there were an EF in 40 size!

Your right tianic, its really amazing what marketing can do for an airplane. If fliton would come out with another glow airplane I would be sold as soon as it hit the market. I love my fliton 330, hands down its the best value for a small scale airplane thats 3D capable. CF wing tube, composite gear, super light wing loading all for around $200.

Layne - a Fliton Extra 330 in say 68" and about 7.5-7.75 lbs? Sold also as a combo with a YS110? CF gear, CF horns, Pull-pull on RUD and ELE, CF spinner ...

Layne nailed it. For a 46 two stroke stick to a profile but the Fliton Extra with a Saito 90 something on it will out perform anything around in it's size. I'm dumping my Wildhare because it doesn't hold a candle to the way the slimey Fliton flies. I know I won't be happy now untill I get the QQ Yak.

Basin - saw the QQ Yak fly, with a DA50 ... its really nice. However, on the 3rd weekend the owner forgot to install the clips to hold one wing in, the wing got loose and he flat spun all the way down from about 40'. Damage? Only the engine mounting box broke! Lucky bugger!!!
