Default Does any one make a real .40 sized 3D kit/arf

FG'ers -I pose this question. It seems that most of the supposed 40 sized 3D machines still require a .50 or .63 fourstroke to 3D effectively. They seem to be coming out around 4 to 4 1/2 lbs. Does anyone know of any kit manufacturer that truly makes a 3D machine that will 3D on say an ole OS max 40 fp. Heck Id be satisfied with a OS .46.

All- not triyin to turn this in to bash thread - just trying to find an alternative 3D machine for folks who are on a budget. It would seem logical with all the advancements made in lazer cutting that there would be a 30-40 sized 3D machine
that would come in the 600-700 sq 3 1/2 lb range.

And I have never heard a bad thing about the MOJO.

Have you checked out the TMPro Katana .46 size? It hovers at half power on an OS 46AX. I had mine on an OS 50sx and it was ballistic.

I also think the Mojo kit can fly fine on a 46.

All good with a .46.

I have the Katana Profile.. The a good running .46 is perfect. Plus it a 3D machine. Also, Mike at OMP is top notch. They back there products, this I know.

Ron, most of them will 3D better on a .50 or better, however most will still 3D Ok with a .46.

The prototype of the Yak below flew on TT .46 pro ($75 engine) and flew very well.....

For something that is not quite a profile...the magic3d from modeltech is a possibility.

rdgood: do you already have an engine? if you don't, whatever you do, go with a ball bearing 46...such as the OS 46fx or the Thunder Tiger 46 Pro. Don't go with a bushed 46 like the OS FP, the OS LA or the Thunder Tiger GP. They are good motors, but not nearly as powerful as the ball bearing motors.

Anyone of the above profiles will work fine with a healthy 46 with the right prop, such as a apc 12x4. Whatever you do, don't go with a Hangar 9 Twist...they are a fun fly plane, not a 3D plane.
