Default 3D Profile Planes ?

Which is the best profile plane for doing 3D ?

I believe that profile planes are the Fathers of 3D planes and they have ultimate capabilities ...

Are there plans available for 3D profile planes ?

I am looking for real 3D performance here.

My favorite is the Extreme Flight Edge 540T ARF with a Saito .72 4-stroke.

Check out the profile brotherhood forum right here on this board. You will find a whole group of guys devoted to profiles and 3D. A couple of excellent kits that I can suggest are the Fat Free Taco and the Burrito which are both sold by Paul Swanson at very reasonable prices. He is a member of the ProBro's. They are easy building, fun flying airplanes.

Yep, all of Swany's stuff and also look at the Sledge. Not as easy to build, but the most capable IMO once you have the basics. The Burrito is the best for starting out. Love that Harrier!!!!

As for 100% brutal 3D capability, I'm gonna echo my Bro Gordo. If you build, a Slegde is a rockin' bird.

Ohio Model Planes has several kits that are catching on fast, and all seem to fly 3D well. They offer 46 to 72, 61 to 91, 160+, and 50cc size kits. They also have a gallery with lots of pictures.

To save a buck or two, look at a Burrito from Paul. I saw close to a dozen of these fly, and everyone of them flew well, and had their pilots smiling. I doubt there is a quicker building profile kit out there. Paul didn't add anything that wasn't necessary on that plane.

If you are not a builder, go look into Extreme Flight RC. The Mini 3D is not a real profile, but it has "Honorary Status" due to the fact that it is a profile at heart, and for such a small plane, equally as capable as most profiles. The EF Edge is close to the Sledge in capability in most areas, and exceedes it in some. IMHO the EF Edge takes a bit more professional touch. More professional than me anyway...

Let us know what you decide,

Pretty. But the ailerons look small to me and the whole tail seems anemic. I could be wrong, just could be the distance of the pics.

40 size and the wings come off, I like it. rudder seems a tad small with no counterbalance I can see but seems like plenty of elevator and ailerons seem about the same as many others. The question is why isnt anyone coming out with 60-90 size profiles,

Well I am all confused here.

I cannot decide what to buy and start 3D on ?

I do have a modified Fazer and an orignal Fazer .... but was looking for something more capable for 3D.

Is the SudoKhoi a good choice ?

What do you suggest weather i should buy a Sudukhoi or Paul's Burrito ?
Which Is Better in Performance ?

Get the Burrito. Trust me when I say it's the easiest kit EVER to build. Even if you would prefer an ARF, this kit is inexpensive and a GREAT plane to start 3D on and it basically falls together on your building table. Even with kids and a wife ( ) I got it built in a few evenings.

Having had both the su-do khoi, and the burrito I would get the burrito as a first 3-d plane. It is the easiest to hover harrier plane around. Very stable, and did I mention how tough it is. I know several of us have stress tested it, and it always comes out better than any other design. The carbon rod down the fuse makes it nearly indestructable. I wouldn't even bother with the su-do-khoi. It's a good plane but is outdated when compared to the omp edge, sledge, extreme flight edge, etc....
