Re: Primo Build Thread
Great job Paul. I am sorry I gave up on the MOJO as quick as I did, my very good friend and flying buddy finally killed his.. it has taught him to be a very good 3D pilot. I need to get my MOJO arf back out and finish it. Nice scheme too. I like that! Thanks for sharing..

Re: Primo Build Thread
Hey Paul, the tail group reminds me of the Hokesie Primus. Should have plenty of rudder authority. Sounds like you had a great time at Memphis with the Primo. You'll have to post some vid later.

Re: Primo Build Thread
Paul has spoken of the Primus before. I know he was impressed by it. Seems like Gator was trying to get one, and they were hard to come by.
This makes it easier for all of us.

Re: Primo Build Thread
Thanks guys.... Got a chance to get comfortable with it in Memphis... Here's what I've found about the differences between the Primo and the Mojo...
Waaaaay more slippery... It goes where you point it NOW! No lag time or leading... Snaps waaaay harder and crisper. I think the thinner wing is responsible for that. Waterfalls are really pretty. flips around the wing spar with more of a stall than just flying thru a tight loop.. I think the cap style elevator and longer tail moment is responsible for this. Knife edge is a little more work. It want's a little more speed in knife edge for stability.. It does slow down for high alpha knife edge, just have to stay on top of it. I'm going to try some modifications to the rudder shape and see if I can clean things up a bit. Overall it a more responsive bird than the Mojo which also means it more advanced and must be flown all the way thru maneuvers... It's my new favorite bird and I really enjoy flyin it...

Re: Primo Build Thread

Re: Primo Build Thread
I flew the Proto of this thing at the Memphis probro.
Killer bird! i have one on order as well. It's very loose yet stable all at the same time. For the giant scale guys that really wanna learn some more 3D moves without risking a 5k plane, this is the bird you need. |
