Group Build, 20cc Profile ARF, Who's In?

[BalsaDust]

Did somebody say profiles. I like profiles. Unfortunately I can't participate though as I already have two 20cc profile kits waiting to be built and I need to save up to get either a DLE20 or a VVRC20 to put on the nose of it. I will follow along though and watch with great interest.

Maybe we'll build the ARF this time, let it run its course and have the thread for anyone that wants to follow along later. Then when everyone's ready we'll pick a good 20cc KIT profile plane and we'll do an actual stick and glue Group Build and swap our stuff into it when we're all done.

Thanks for the discount offer @Decal Dennis !! do we need a coupon code to get the discount?

Anyone thinking about doing this to give a first Gasser a try? Anyone thinking about going electric? I'm actually thinking I might go electric because I'd be able to fly it more at the field that is much closer to my house.

Anyone have a suggestion for a motor/esc/battery combination?

If we do a stick build and it's a profile build may I suggest one of these two kits.
The slide58 is a bit cheap but I have heard nothing but good things about the EE60 and I have flown the 50cc version that @kwj48 built and owns. Absolute amazing plane in the air.

These are a few other great kits out there but they are only available when the kit cutters do a kit run.

I have a Mojo 65 waiting on finishing a 35% extra to start. Probably a winter time thing...

A pm to me would be fine as each set would be semi custom.

I will watch but way to many projects ongoing.

thanks for that Mike. My only problem with making it electric is that that power system doesn't use batteries that I already have so I'd have to pony up for four or five 5S packs to make a trip to the field worth it.

i might have a similar sized motor and ESC in the shop, I'll have to look later today

sounds good, would like to see some of the new guys/gals jump in and give it a try

i might just go ahead and get the project going and leave it here for others to join whenever they're ready. not sure about gas or electric though.
