Back in the 1990's I designed a profile P40 Warhawk. At the time I did not have a laser machine so I had to come up with something that I could build using a band saw and sand paper. The model became my P40 Profile. Although it flew very well I was never completely satisfied with the looks of the model.

Today I have the use of AutoCAD and a laser machine plus electric power. I have revisited the P40 profile and incorporated some new ideas into the construction. Things like laminated structures Stabilizer incidence and full span gapless hinges.

I intend to power this 624 sq. in. model with one of my KDA 36-10XL motors using the Kr Governor, ZTW 50 Amp ESC and a 4 cell 3300 mAh battery.

Here's what the new Electric P40 Profile will look like.

I too like P-40's, infact with the tiger  mouth has always been my favorite.   Will this be a package deal with the power package?  There are so many choices these days and this has really caught my eye.

Hi Doc:

The new P40 will be offered as a kit (with an I/C conversion included for those who still like "smokies").

  Eric,That's hilarious!! Nice looking ship.When you get the time an E-51 would be nice too.Trax

Bill,That is a nice little ship.I was just hinting at a big brother for it(or me) to play with.Trax

I made some changes to the way I handled the full span hinges in the flaps on the new P40 Profile Electric.

Here's the plan just about 100% completed. I expect to start cutting the test build kit sometime next week.

All comments & suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi Guil;

I don't have one right this moment but can certainly run one off for you. Since you are using those "G" motors just send me the measurements so that I can make the drop in box to fit your motor. Give me stuff like: length of motor from back of the stator to the front of the shaft (if you're mounting using a front mount). If a rear mount the let me know the width of the mounting plate. Also need to know the width of the motor.

Hi Mike:

In order to use the drop in motor box I have designed without any modifications you would have to remove the maple motor mount rails. If you wanted to cut down the box side to allow them to run under the maple rails I see no reason why it wouold not work for you in the O Plus.
