Default Help identifying this airplane kit

I bought this kit a few years ago on e-bay. It was sold as a generic 30-40 size plane I believe. I misplaced the instructions.

Does anyone know what plane this is?

As I recall..this one never had an actual name. It was one of many profile "Clones" that showed up on Ebay. They were going for about $40.00 and the guy was charging $59.99 for shipping from Illinois.

So I guess the name of this ARF,,,is RIPOFF!!

I could almost guarantee you that if you post this on that site dedicated to profile planes, you would have an answer in minutes.

I've got a couple of those planes, except they have different color schemes. They fly great with a lightweight 36 to 40 size engine. Mine didn't come with instructions either.

I never found out the official name of the plane, but they are commonly referred to as the "Ebay Plane", the "No-Name Profile", and the "Mystery Profile".

You will find a lot more info about that plane on that site that is dedicated to profile planes.

Where did you set the CG at? The only 40 size motors that I have are a OS 46 AX and an OS 40FP. Was hoping to 3D with this plane, do you think the 46 AX is to much for it?

It looks to be the small version of the butterfly 3d with a different color scheme http://www.axarmodel.com/component/p...rt/Itemid,113/

If it's the 30 size Mystery Profile, then use the 40FP. The 46AX is way too heavy.

The Butterfly 3D looks similar, but is a larger plane than the Mystery Profile.

You can now, but you couldn't in the past.

And you still can't post a link to the web site of brothers who like profile planes.
