ProJed models?

[T. Lyttle]

My buddy (he's smarter than me) ran across an article in AMI regarding a "different" type of construction, namely ProJed, a derivation of profile and jedelsky. Boddington (?) offered up a P51 (hohum) as an example, but the concept has me building.

The "profile" part has to do with a thick profile fuse, all balsa, fat enough to enclose all the radio gubbins, and a jedelsky wing. With an 09 diesel and 2 channels, it looks like a very robust and effective model. (Problem with models like that is that they just keep flying whether you like it or not!). I am going to try this.

Has anyone else given this a try, and, if so, what were the results?:confused:

It sounds basically like an RC version of an Ebeneezer free flight model.

Doesn't it though? Simple, but not as simple as a straight profile, and my experience with Jedelsky wings leads me to believe that it will fly well. Probably durable too, a definite requrement (ask anyone who's seen me fly!). I'm cutting wood for it, hope to have it ready for the SMALLfly in your area this summer!

I'm glad to hear that you're going to try to get to our SMALL fly in.
