Default RE: learning 3d, what happens upon flameout?

The reason I suggest the MOJO is because it has a tube running full length down the fuselage. If you don't have that tube, the first time you nose it in the fuselage will break right behind the wing and the plane will be toast. Do the same thing on a MOJO or PRIMO or any of the profiles with tubes and at worst you will have to put on a new prop or glue a couple of pieces of balsa in the nose. I have had both types of profiles and have several "half planes" awaiting repairs, none have tubes because those planes are still flying! I had never built a kit before I got my MOJO. It was a very easy and quick build, it is light and has large wing area and control surfaces, uses standard servos, and works with a variety of engines. The 40 size comes in around 4-4.5 lbs and a 46 or 55 two stroke is plenty of power. Price wise, it is cheaper than the Tribute and around the same price as the kits on OMP's site. There is a reason why everyone recommends them. It is because they are the best of this style of plane!
