Default Mojo 60 BAYBEE!!!

All that is left is to make up a set of pushrods and mount the tank.

It has a Saito 100 with a 16x4W APC prop. The receiver is an Electron 6. The tail is 625 Hitecs and the wing has 475 Hitecs. Throttle is an HS-81. 5 Cell Nicads power it.

I should have it flying this weekend.

Real Cool Twister.

I gotta start mine soon -- Nashville is coming, ya know.

What kind of car do you have? How will your mojo get to the field? I'm a bit worried about squeezing the 60 size plane where a 40 size just barely fits now.

Windjunkie. That mojo60 probably won't fit in the Grandam. It's a big plane. Unless your seat folds down, but it is still pretty tall.

I think you better just send me the kit!!!!!!!

Did you strengthen the lower fuse where the long piece of 1/2 square butts to the lower curved piece? I didn't and within 5 flights it had separated from engine vibration.

Here's a pic from the first minute of my maiden today. This plane is absolutely awesome! By minute two, the rudder was in the grass.

Hovers were all but hands off, and the tail authority is extroidinary in a hover.

The KE had a hint of pull to the canopy, and almost imperceptable roll. It was very good in HAKE as well, with only a slight increase in coupling.

The plane is very agile for it's size, and never left me wanting for more control response.

I liked the spins too, even climbing spins easily done.

The CG felt very neutral at 1 inch aft of recommended. I like it just where it is.

Here's a pic, after I got a bit more comfortable. Well, it was the second flight...

I was a bit up close and personal with the plane by this time. Again, it was all but hands off stable in a hover, and we had absolutely no wind today. I could put it right in front of me, and just hold it there, while folks took pictures.

Very smooth and very predictable.

I think I am next on BB's list, so my Mojo 60 should be ready soon. I was going to wait and pick it up in Nashville, but your pictures are making it hard to wait that long. I may have to spring for the shipping.

Only available from: www.swanyshouse.com

Shirts from www.rcexpressions.com

I don't think the shirts are listed on the RCeX site currently, just do the contact e-mail thing and ask about them.

Depfife, I can't imagine how much Greyhound would charge to ship the major components of the Mojo, but it won't be cheap. Even with the wing off of the carbon fuselage rod, the box will be very big. I'm not saying it won't be worth the shipping to get it a wee bit early, just be prepared for one big honkin' box.

John gave me a pretty reasonable estimate on the shipping. I don't remember the exact amount, so I will not quote it here.
