Ok here goes
I have been flying for over half my life now being age 25 i have got right into 3d at the moment and getting better with every flight. over this time i have got a nice little collection of gear. i can now see i'm not going to use any of it now that my flying style has changed over this time. I am planing to sell up some of this stuff and put the funds together to hopefully purchase a mojo. At this point I'm not sure what size i can afford but am tending towards the 60 size. i want all out 3d power in this plane and would like to try a four banger as i have never owned 1 due the the price. if i do the 60 size plane will the saito 100 deliver the power needed to do any move in the book? Or am i better to go to the 65 size and something like a 125. is it really worth the extra money or is there not a lot of difference between them. Is the moass kit worth a look as i can fly and want all out 3d. And does the Removable wing kit add much weight or is it better with out it? One of the bigger problems i can see going to the 65 is the greater servo power required for it adds a lot more price compared to the smaller 60. As if i do the 60 i will have something like hitec 645s and then 1 digital for the rudder. but if i do the 65 i believe i need that better power all round adding a lot more price that i don't know if i can afford or not.

The 60 with a 100 is a great combo. Plenty of power and then some. The 60 size Mojo with a 100 will have more power that the Mojo 65 with a 125. The 60 size is actually a little more stable in 3D flight than the 65. The 65 was designed to be a little looser. Of those two, given the choice I would go with the Moass Mojo 60. If transportation is a problem go with the 65/125 for the removable wings. You can get a removable wing kit for a 60 but it really adds weight.

I've got a MoJo 60 with about 10 gallons through the Saito 100 on the nose. Without a doubt, it's a miracle machine. If I had it to do again, the only change I'd make is the Moass option. It's not necessary, but I'm curious about it since it evolved after I built mine.
Do whatever it takes to beg, borrow or steal a MoJo 60 and you won't be sorry. The hunnert is the PERFECT engine, by the way. Light, reliable and plenty of power for a 5.5 pound ship.

I have the 60 mojo with Saito 100 turning a 16x4w on 30% nitro. That is a PERFECT combo!!!!! Trust me and others, that combo will teach you everything that you would ever want to know in terms of 3D-most believe that it is the ultimate in 3D training. The plane is extremely tough, slow, stable when you want it to be, smooth and just locks in manuevers. I have worn the covering on mine out on the top of the rudder where I have drug the tail on the ground in inverted harriers so much. I can do really tight inverted harrier 8's within 6" of the ground with trememdous ease. For servos, I am using futaba 3010's everywhere with robart hinges and a 6volt batt for added speed and strength.
Try the 60, you will love it.
I also have the mojo 40 and burrito and they fly awesome too just a bit faster in their maneuvers and not quite as "solid" as the bigger 60.
Good luck!

Have a 2 season old Mojo 60 (pre Moass) with a Saito 91 running a 14x4wide APC prop use 5% nitro most days and 35% for fun flys.
Built mine with removable wings, The mod does not add much weight and the plane will fit inside my small (Saturn) car so I do not have to beg for the van. I also have a Primo form Paul it's even better but does do things a bit faster than the Mojo.
The Moass mod was done by a very good 3D flyer to make the plane "looser" The big wing will still keep you out of trouble but with more tail and fuse area back there the plane will react faster to rudder and ele.
The standard tail will still allow you to do pinwheels, waterfalls, rising inverted spins, very tight snaps, scary hard blenders it just looks and feels like slow motion.
The Moass is quicker and more "frantic"? to me fly's more like a 40 size.
The one pce. is large you will need a pick-up, full size car or van and have a good size area for plane storage. I cut out a cardboard template and tried to fit the one pce plane into my car (no joy) carry from car into house then downstairs to workshop (just made it around corner and down stairs) If you work out of a garage or shed then a totally different deal, for me a one pce just did not work. Very happy with the 3 pce plane. Did use the balsa root ribs from the one pce wing to add sheeting support behind the ply root ribs and drilled through the ply into the balsa and added some bamboo dowels as the bolt tabs tend to pull away over time with some help from contact with Mother Earth.

My Mojo 60 has a Saito 100 onboard and turns a 15x4W APC with 10% nitro. It hovers at about 1/3 throttle. I think it's safe to say that a Saito 100 is *the* engine for this model.

The MoJo ARFs NEVER stay in stock for long; they seem to sell out in just a few days or weeks. At this point you either have to build one or track down a used one.
