how to spend $400?
 

If you had $400 to spend on a .46 size 3d plane and engine, what would you buy?

RE: how to spend $400?
 

Easy MOJO 40

OS 46 AX with a MACS pipe
or
Webra 50

Mojo fer sure. Good servos with the Webra 50 or a Satio 82 would be sick.

Does the mojo come as a kit only. I'm restricted by time, space to build right now.

I'm in the same market & am looking at the OMP Katana V2 46 ARF.
I'm going with Saito 72 so I'll be a bit over 400. :D

RE: how to spend $400?
 

Why don't you get the combo with the YS 63? A way better engine for $384 including shipping. I also have my eye on this deal. I am also looking at the Badboy. The Mojo arf appears to have a wait.

I'm kind of on the fence with which engine to get. I can't really find any good RPM comparison's on RCU. I have had good luck with my Saito 1.25 so that's what's tending to lean me towards the Saito. pricewise they're pretty much the same. The saito is actually a little cheaper at my LHS.

IMO, the Saito 72 doesn't compare to the ys 63. If you must go Saito, you should get the 82. It's the same size. The 72 is really kind of outdated.

Wow, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even notice the 82 lurking out there. Dang, there goes the OMP warranty. :)
Can you say foamy power!

My experience with Saito 82 on a profile hasn't been very positive. While it's a great engine, it does have a lot a vibration. As for the profile, a vibrant nose result in a very dynamic fuel tank. I can see the fuel getting twirl around like juice in a blender. It will cause much leaner mixture as fuel is getting consumed, so I end up starting the flight w/ very rich idle setting.

I don't have this problem on a fatty. Profile just seems to have this problem with Saito 82.

Hey, look out for the new Webra 55, due out in US mid May. 13x4W @ over 12k rpm, baby!

I have the first version of the Katana gs 40 with a saito 82 on it. With a 14 x 6 master airscrew prop this thing hovers at 1/3 throttle and rockets out of a hover!

Funny, my 82 is just fine on the front of a rather flexible profile but my 100 shakes like the devil on another.

The 82 has had more fuel through it so maybe (fingers crossed) the 100 will settle down a but after a few gallons.
