20cc Pattern Plane for Practice

[AKNick]

I've wondered about doing this as well. would a MoAssed 65 take a bigger powerplant than a 20cc?

Is that the Primo60? Looks like you had to add a lot of lead to the nose. Will be mindful of that and maybe move the tail servos up a bay...

Yep, it's the Primo. There is only 1-3/4oz added to the nose, guess I build to light.

For good performance definitely need more than a 20

My Mojo 65 was ok with a DLE 20 but climb out of a hoover was dog slow. Currently running an OS GT22 with a ported WWRC pitts muffler and a Falcon carbon fiber 17x6 prop. Happy now but it is no power rocket.

Don't get me wrong I love profiles but I also love vintage pattern. I had a GP 70" revolver that was a great on rails pattern flyer with a DLE 20. Wind had no affect on the plane it was my go to windy day plane. If on rails pattern is your priority consider this.

The 65 is already moassed. The mojo40 and 60 both where updated some years after initial design to have the larger surfaces thus the rename to Moass.

Paul, if you like vintage pattern airplanes, Leo at Klass Kote has some very nice offerings.
He probably has something your 20 would work in. From what I've seen of his glass work it's top notch.

Whoa! Thanks Doug! I will check that out. Got some paint from Leo. Very nice guy when I talked to him on the phone.
Thanks again!!

Another option is the OMP Fusion. With a DLE 20 it is a better pattern flyer than an all out 3D profile.
