Title: Profile Madness
Post by: Mike Griffin on August 31, 2018, 10:41:11 AM: There has recently been quite a bit of discussion on the forum about profiles. This is just a shameless plug to remind folks that the Imitation Kit, The Modified Banshee kit and the Shark 35 Profile kits are all still available. The modified Banshee kit is the original Banshee but the wing saddle was modified to move the wing forward by 1 1/2". The Imitation was of course designed by Ted Fancher and the kit was produced under consultation with Ted and the Shark 35 Profile is simply the Shark with a profile fuselage rather than a full fuse.

Just a reminder if you are looking for a good flying profile.

Does anyone know anything about it?

It was a Pathfinder ARF restyled as a Shark. It was built by Ray Firkins.

I like the look of Ray's plane as well! On that same Shark theme, I took Mike Griffin's Shark 35 profile and made a set of SharkFinder plans. It's a fun mashup design.

Post by: Mike Griffin on September 02, 2018, 07:31:40 AM: Perry the Mo Best took more time to bring to production than any other kit I have ever produced. That was a joint effort with a few folks from the United States, England and Australia. Larry Cunningham's design work was quite amazing. Thanks for bringing this up.

Post by: Perry Rose on September 02, 2018, 07:54:08 AM: I read most of Larry's articles on the Mo'Best and once I set it up to his recommendations It not flys great. The kit was a pleasure to assemble.
