How are the ProX 260 profiles doing by now?
Anyone still fllying the Aeroworks profiles? I finally got the smaller one completed with a YS 70 engine. Just waitng for a calm day to try it out. Should be a good combo, the YS weighs less than a .46AX so I moved it forward about an inch. The throttle servo wires are no problem being exposed. I just ran then out the other (tank) side and up into the wing where there's no oily exhaust residue. Anyone flown them without the SFG's?????
Thanks,

I have been flying mine since they where first released, it is powered by a 55 ax .unlimited vertical and ok speed, knife edge is awesome, knife edge loops, flat spins, inverted flight I have used it for pattern training as well...very nice little plane.

Thanks, that's good to hear. I had mine out only once and have been waiting for the wind to clear. Will your's flat spin? Have you tried it without the SFG's? The ones in Realflight won't flat spin; they feel like the rudder doesn't have enough authority. There must be a ton of the out there somewhere still.
Thanks,

Have you or anyone else tried taking the SFG's off and see how it flies?

RE: How are the ProX 260 profiles doing by now?
Well I can tell you that now it is nearly summer of 2012 and I got the smaller one going and it is great! You want to keep them light if possible so on my 40-60 size I used a YS 70 engine (gobs of power and lighter than a .46AX) and a 1100mah LIFE battery from tower (lighter than a AAA pack). Nice hovers, harriers, and KE's so far, no complaints. That big fat wing is a blast in the wind, it will set right down for a landing like a heli almost. The 14x4W prop almost isn't enough for the YS 70. It's barely broken in and it turns it 10,600 easy and my Saito 82 on the OMP Edge turns it aprox. 1000 less which isn't bad at all.

I know the Mojo and Primo are both GREAT. My friend showed up today with his new Primo and Saito 82. Nice flyer!
