What is available in plans for an excellent flying Profile stunter ?

I am currently flying the SUKHOI from Heartbeat models
OS46LAS propped with graupner 12 x 5 at 49 ozs

Motor is modded, has os40fp needle valve assembly fitted, but apart
from that, it is stock, and runs very well.

Tight lines to all

Off the top of my head, Larry Cunningham's Mo'Best or the Pathfinder (plans available from Brodak), the Rabe Mustunt, Fancher Doctor and Medic.

IMHO, my top 4 choices would be Brodak Cardinal, Brodak Pathfinder, Ted's Imitation and Larry's Mo'Best, in no particular order. Brodak sells plans for their kits, Ultimate Hobby should have plans for the Imitation, since they kit it and sell plans for their kits, and as previously stated, PAMPA sells plans to the Mo'Best. Also, check our host Leonard's plans lists at Stuka Stunt Werks. Pat Johnston's designs fly very well. http://www.clstunt.com/plans.htm

How about posting a picture of your Heartbeat Sukhoi? I have one in the stack, need inspiration. If you email a photo to me, I could post it, if you haven't figured that out yet. Steve

Hands down, IMHO . . . The Prowler.

Designed by Bob Hunt and once kitted by Aerosmith Model Aviation, it was/is the best flying profile I've ever had experience with. I've been flying one in Expert Stunt for the part 3 years, winning once, placing usually, and never too far out of the money.

It's two big advantages are:

Foam wing, so getting it straight is a no-brainer.

Small size - 490 sq in, so a light case 40 (Brodak, FP, etc) pulls it with extreme authority. Great wind penetration, and it builds light, too.

A request on this forum might just turn up an unbuilt kit, or a set of plans.

Johnny Duncan can cut a foam wing for it, too.

I can't say enough good stuff about this design. You can't go wrong with one.
