Looking for a workhorse profile
Hi! I am fairly new to this forum and have'nt seen this question.
Looking for a workhorse profile.
I want a Fun Fly/Profile plane that is very stable a slow speeds and has unlimited aerobatic moves. I need something that balances well when overpowered. =)
I've been looking at Morris Hobbies and the Sig Frazer.
I diffently want a kit. .40-.60 range
Any opions would be appreciated.

Any links w/ photos of building a sledge yet?
I think Morris is going to be the way to go. There are a lot of praises for there planes in this forum.
What kinda flight pack is needed? Mini's or standards?
And do they come with the gear needed for a pull-pull set-up?
If not anyone have mod advise for it?

You can use a standard flight pack for the sledge. I used standard for the tail, mini for the ailerons and a micro for the throttle. Yes it does come with all the Pull-pull hardware as well as the aileron pushrods and a fuel tank. Very easy to build I am still covering mine so i will put out a flight report later. Do a search there are a few threads that have construction photots.

there are a few threads on sledge building. Anything Morris is a safe bet. If you can learn to like the looks of it...I love my Gee Whiz Bee, it's got that love it or hate it look. best thing about the GeeWhiz is that the prop only extends about 1/2 inch above the fuse so you don't break it when you dork it inverted. 500 sq inches of fuselage=awesome slow knife edge.
