Aeroworks Profile 300L
 
I recently purchased a Aeroworks Profile 300L . Is anyone out there presently flying one and what engine are you using? I would like to put a small gas motor such as the RCS 1.4 or 1.8 on it, but want to make sure it has enough power to torque and hover. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Scott

Go to the search caption, type in "aeroworks profile edge" and you will come up with a couple older threads. Most guys are using YS 120 and Saito 150 etc. I also note that most people are cutting off one bay off the wing and building the center wing section in one piece to strenthen it. I have been studying these threads cause I have the kit and an RCS 140 to go on it. If you look at the weight of the RCS 180, it is way to heavy for the size.

Paul

Asher:
It probably is. According to earlier threads, Aeroworks recommended leaving the full wing span if you use a larger gas engine to keep the wing loading light. However, if you use a 4-stroke or large 2-cycle, then removing one bay is the way to go. I am going to use the RCS 140, remove one bay and add a wing tube application. Hope to come out about 9 lbs. or less.
