Dude...those are kick. My son and I picked up a couple of Fun 51's from Tower a few years back. Built them, covered them in authentic ww2 schemes and installed some vicious glow (shudder) motors. I had an O.S. 40 ringed and bearing in mine with a tuned pipe. That thing cooked and talk about fun. Truth be known, that could be where my desire for aerobatic mayhem began. :laughing:

Lol and you think the fun 51 was fun you should try a mojo. One problem with the fun51 is the fuse does not have a tube in it so it can't be dorked like a mojo can. Mine has a piped OS 46ax turning a 12x4 and has absolutely ballistic power. Plus the sound of a piped two stroke is fun. Been wanting to build a slab to bolt a piped OS 120ax on but them 120's ain't cheap and they thirsty. The 120 sounds like it's got a fat cam in it when idling.

A buddy has the Mojo extreme with a 55ax and a aluminum coke can pipe. Serious fun. Another buddy scratched a blown version of the Mojo with a Saito 180. Does everything the Mojo does but slower. KE loops on the deck!

Yeah I have a 55ax with the dollar tree can setup on it. I have it currently bolted on a sbach profile that is pretty well destroyed so it will be being moved to the new edge profile I have that needs covering. Its a great choice for the mojo but I was able to keep mine under 4lbs when I built it so I stayed with the 46.

Oh and when you say mojo extreme I feel you may meen the Moass version of the mojo. Basically stands for more @$$ with a bigger elevator and rudder. All the mojo kits that swany sells these days come that way.

Just got back from Columbus where I attended my sons graduation from IBOLC at Ft Benning. Yep it was really rainy this morning when we left but punched out of it just before getting to Atlanta. Definitely a bunch:eek: of rain down your way the whole time we were there. Hope it dries up for you folks soon! :)

Just got your email this morning Bart. Huge "CONGRATS" to you an the Mrs., to Ben also.
Question: Does Ben have the authority to enforce Border Patrol? There is rumor of a Aussie/Hispanic gent, who will be traveling from WineOGayCalifornia, leave time 4/30/2016, said arrival in NC, 5/4/2016. He has no green card, and I'd like for him to be detained, truck searched for large quantities of alcohol, an "PAPER TOWELS"
