Review/Comments

The mojo comes as a kit.  It is a quick build due to the excellent design of Paul and the profile design.  The profile design along with the carbon spine create a near crash-proof durability that has proven very valuable while toying with 3D flying.  The aircraft itself is extremely stable in high-alpha flight and has no problems in harriers, hovering, torque rolling, snap rolls, waterfalls… Basically, anything you can make the sticks do, the airplane can do.  I still haven’t found the limits of the aircraft.  

The picture posted above is actually the second build I did.  I lost the first in the marsh on to the East of our field due to what I believe was a bad battery pack.  It is still out there as far as I know.  I have this airplane at the field quite a bit and enjoy every trip with it.  

All up, it only weights 4lbs, 8 oz.  The 55AX generates tons of power and has no problem rocketing the aircraft out of tail-touches or near-disasters.  A lot of people fly it with Saito 4 strokes, but the 2 stroke works fine.  

If you would like to read more about this airplane it has a cult following at the ProfileBrotherhood website.
