Where can I buy a RTF or ARF Mojo 60 profie plane? I've seen several people at my field flying the Mojo profile.. The website that is selling it (http://www.swanyshouse.com/mojo60/mojo60.aspx) only sells the kit. I don't have the time to build... but want the plane!

I have looked in the forums wanted sections, ebay, craigslist,.....

Any other suggestions?

Don't be afraid to try and build it - it is about the fastest building plane I have ever had.
I don't build either - no time - but I put one together in 2 evenings plus an evening for covering (My very weakest skill - ever).

I don't believe they make it in an arf, only the kit. Quick easy build though

Is it worth it? Ive heard a lot of good stuff about the plane, and I know there are 100 other 3D threads that talk about a ba-zillion options, but is there a plane comperable that is ARF that you can recommend?

A buddy of mine can build one in 12 hours.

OMP have a similar plane in an ARF.
I have never seen one and don't know anyone with one but I do know that the other OMP products have a pretty good name in "Slab World" (I have had a couple of their smaller earlier profiles and they were pretty good but IMHO not as good as the larger MoJo 60)

Beware - Good Profiles are addictive - once you have one - you will always need to have one.

Of course, the MoJo with the MoAss option would be my choice to build nowadays.

what s the MoAss option?

I think because the Moass Model flys so well, you get "Mo***" for looking so cool. j/k From what I read via google it is 5 3/4 inches longer with enlarged control surfaces.

go to the profile brother hood and sign up-everything you want to know is there plus some. Build the kit if you are serious about learning to fly profiles-that way after you have dorked it 20-30 times and it needs some touch up, you'll allready have some leftover covering and knowledge as to how its built-easy to fix compared to an ARF. Nothing flies like a Mojo!!

it took me a month and a half to build a mojo but my major mistakes were that I did not buy the removeable wing kit which would have made it an easier build and also I spent a month of the building time just covering the plane. I went a little crazy on my covering job and way over did it. it took me over 3 days to glue the wing in because I covered it first and didn't use the removeable wing kit. when building its easier to clamp the top of the fuselage to the wing kit center section then trying to get the covered unruly fully assembled parts together lined and square and clamped with emough pressure all around to get it to bond completly.

I just finished my Mojo 60 a few weeks ago. If you ain't flying one of these, you are a wanna-be.

Check the pics.

I wish I could. Everytime I try and make an account it says the security word is wrong. I even emailed swany and he said he would pass it on to the admins but that didn't get me anywhere either [:@]

A couple years ago I built, covered, assembled, and stuffed a Mojo 60 in 1 week. Crashed Sunday was flying the next Sunday. Pertty much From 4pm untill 10pm every day after work. I'm sure I could do it faster now I've built several, a 40 even faster.

Your in Huston, one of those guys will sell you a used Mojo. Bug them a bit you'll find one.

What follows is a re-post of something I posted on the Site Which Shall Not Be Named. Take from it what you will.

Thread Title: How to tell a good flying MoJo from a bad one....

It's all in the details. A good flying MoJo has lots of patched covering, scarf joints, smashed aileron tips and of course, much duct tape.







There are plenty of wounds, fractures and evidence of numerous field repairs.





Most importantly, a good flying MoJo is about 10 ounces heavier than it was when its life began and it is NEVER clean!





Until I made all these improvements to the plane, I had no idea the things it could do. It still has lots to learn, of course, but at the rate it's going, it might one day rank right up there with this one.



Seriously though, now that the plane has been crunched, cartwheeled and Andy landed more times than I can count, it doesn't owe me a penny. This damn thing just won't die! Fortunately, I've got another kit around here somewhere, so when it does check out, it's little brother will be coming up right behind it. Paul, thanks for all your efforts on this design. It really is a milestone in the evolution of 3D. [sm=thumbup.gif]

Damn it, we need a :tipofthehat: smiley.

Yup, that's a mojo. Just keep some ca and clear tape in your flight box and you can fly all day.

I just ordered the Primo, that the same thing as the MoAss option? I ordered the 40 size, I know the OS55AX is a good choice, but I already have a YS 45 side exhaust on the shelf (almost new), and I have stock and tuned pipe for it. Do you think this YS will be enough to pull out rapidly? I'm used to flying a UCD with a YS110 4 stroke, so I'm pretty spoiled having all that extra power.

The Primo is a different design than the MoJo. It has a thinner wing, longer fuse and is much looser in the air. The MoJo is more commonly used as a 3D "trainer" and the Moass option makes it more capable. As far as engine choice, I'm sure either the YS or the OS would do fine, but if it were me, I'd probably opt for the OS. It won't need the pipe to achieve Bro-power and is a bit less complex to set up. Of course, if you're an experienced YS user, set up will be no problem for you. How does the weight of the YS compare to the OS? That might be the final criteria to consider. I'd go with the lighter option. Either way, I predict you'll love the Primo. I have one stashed away somewhere waiting for its turn on the bench.

One last thought....is the YS happy turning a 12 to 13 inch prop? I know very little about YS 2-strokes, but if they are designed to turn smallish props at highs revs, it might be wise to go for the 55 instead.

Thanks Erik, I think your right about the OS. The YS on a pipe is high rev small blade pattern engine. I think I'll go with the OS.
I'm "Intermeadiate (ish)" 3D pilot, I've tried profiles beofre (like the Extreme) and didn't make much progress. I've been flying UCDs (5 so far) with YS110s, and I seem to be able to handle that better. That's why I picked the Primo, for the longer fuse. I probably should just get a good mentor, but few profile guys around here.
Thanks again.
