I noticed in this forum its mainly about kit and arf profile planes. But does anyone designs their own models?????? i have build a whole bunch of profile planes and they all flew very well without investing huge sums of money.
I'm really interested in what you guys came up with, I'm looking forward to any pics or plans you got. I'll try to get some when my new creation is finished...

As a matter of fact.........I'm just finishing one now. I had a couple of busted up wing halves laying around from an old Hobbico Extra ARF. I also had a Carbon Fiber Rod and some 1/2 inch ply, and decided that I needed something radical, yet light in wieght. I'll post some pics.............
I'm going to mount a brand new O.S. 61 Four Stroker, never been fired, and yet dis-continued years ago!!!

If I put the hustle on, I think it should fly this weekend.

I've got a SUK SU31 in the works as well as a cross between a gloplug boy wing/OMP YAK fuse and Bad Boy tailfeathers.

I'll try to get pics posted this weekend.

DON'T EVER THROW YOUR BUSTED PIECES AWAY!!!!

I've designed tons of them. Over time I've refined my basic design to something that really works for me. I wish I had a digital camera so I could post some. Maybe this summer.....

Looks like it will be a good fun fly plane. A lot like a "Stick it"

Yeah.......a combination Stick-it..Diamond Unlimited.......and MoJo without the fuse!!
I just finished covering it, and it weighs 2lb.2oz...those wing were heavier than I thought, but I think it will be fine.

AeroDave

Cool! a boom plane. Those fly great. I remember when I was glying those a lot in Florida I saw a guy hover well for the first time with one. That was in about 1992. I know guys hovered long before that, but it was the first time I saw it.....

Jerry-RCU,
I was curious how you are attaching the wings on the "Stik" type airplanes you posted in posts 10,13,17?
I never thought about making a "Stik" profile, thats a great idea!

Must be a secret technique!

novabill

LOL...Not a secret technique, just hard to explain. The two center ribs are sepirated by blocks of wood that the boom and motor plate slide through. Look at the Swany Burrito, Taco or Mojo build threads here on RCU and you'll see many pics illustrating the process....

I'm back to work on my home brewed profile....Hopefully, I'll have some pics to post today...

novabill

Sorry CCRC1,

I was looking at the wrong plane....I would like to know how they do that one as well[]

This is my well flown scratch built extra special,Runs a 46FX with a 10x6 APC and is a bullet.
Aircraft flies well especially inverted flat spins .
Originally I had a foam fuse that was sheeted ,I tried this to see if I could do away with the typical Profile vibration from the engine ,and yes it worked quite well.But after 2 yrs the foam started to break down inside the sheeting.So I made a thicker than stock balsa fuse and used that.Caution I did have to use tail wires because of the speeds and violent maneuver's this plane will do.

Not a secret technique, just hard to explain. Here's a picture that's worth a thousand words. Trying to keep it out of the hands of the manufactures because they don't like to share.
