I just wanted to post how impressed I am with Ohio Model Planes. I ordered 2, 540 profile 40 size kits, Tuesday night. Here it is Friday morning and they are both at my house. Delivered by the mail lady, and both boxes in excellent shape.

Then when I opened the boxes, still impressed. Both very well packed and the wood looks excellent. I can only anticipate that it will build great.

My son has never built a plane, so this will be his first, about my 20th. So we will embark on the journey together. We will sit side by side at the building table and hope we don't kill each other.

Again, impressed with the Ohio Model Planes kit. Also enjoyed talking to Mrs. Ohio Model Planes, she likes southern accents. Did, however have my first name wrong on the box. Little translation thing from Carolina to Ohio. :-)

what phone number or website did you order the kits from?

Here is the web site, just pick up the phone one evening and give them a call.

thanks alot, I've been looking for this site for along time, but where do you see 40 size 540's

I ordered 1 of the small 540 edge profiles last Sat. but I have not recieved it yet. Maybe it will come tomorrow.

It is right on the opening home page FF540P

the 540 profile definitley looks interesting, and at $60 bucks it's at least 20 bucks cheaper than a Morris kit.

I've been flying my 540 profile for about 3 weeks now, and I love it. The 540 profile really does build light, mine weighs 4lbs even with .46Fx and standard servos.

As far as being a better deal than the Morris kits, you decide, the Morris kits come with most hardware needed, the 540P from Ohio Model Planes doesn't. I personally like no hardware, because I like to choose my own.

found it, I feel like an idiot now, it was right there in front

Mine came in the mail today, everything looks great. I have one project to finish then I can start on it.
Toyking23 what engine are you going to use ?

We have 2 OS 46 FX at the house from other planes, that the earth decided it wanted them, more then me. So, I hope these will make it dance.
What engine are you thinking?

Also if anyone has built this plane and has any tips, please pass them on.

Folks from North Carolina don't have an accent, it's everbody else that does!!!!

I am thinking either a TT pro 46 with a tuned pipe, or a MVVS 45.

To route the servo wires from the tail to the radio compartment. From the connector that plugs into the receiver very carefully remove the pins. Removeing the plastic connector from the extension cables will make it much easier to pass through the hole in the trailing edge ( especially after you already have one through there ). Run two strings from the radio compartment to the holes in the tail ( if you use light enough string you can use a vaccum cleaner to suck the strings through the tunnel). With the strings through the tunnel you're almost there. Tie the strings to the cables, now tape the strings to the cables so they won't snag on anything. Very slowly pull the strings from the radio compartment while feeding the cables into the holes at the rear of the fuse. Don't pull too hard if the cables snag on the hole in the trailing edge, be patient working the cable and string back and forth until the cable passes through the trailing edge. Once you have the cables through the tunnel replace the pins in the connector ( make very sure you get the pins back into the connector in the right order ).

You may want to practice removeing and replaceing the pins in the connectors on a throw away servo connector before trying this.
