Anyone have any profiles they enjoy flying? I have a SR-71 Blackbird and a P-38. The Blackbird is about 45" long while the P-38 only has about a 12" wingspan. Both are a kick to fly. Less stress then their much heavier counterparts in my Hangar (LX and LM respectively).

Profile pusher jets were my life for many years (and I even ran a business for 5 years selling them). My all-time favorite is the F-22. It was also my best seller. I liked it so much I even put lights on one and fly it at night.
And if someone did a plan for a profile pusher jet, chances are I built one. Here's just a few pics of what I have done in the past. A lot of these I designed myself.Pat -
WOW Pat those are fantastic! Do you have the F-22 and Concorde still available anywhere? I would snag those in a heartbeat. The F4 Phantom and F-18 as well...Very cool!My YouTube RC videos:

The Phantom, Skyray and XL were done by Nick Cara from Australia ("nac" on RCG). The Phantom flew very well, and of course the XL is my all-time favorite jet. Phantom and Skyray kits can be purchased at 6mmflyrc.com (these are the Quick Build, or "QB" series, most of the pics on their site are of my planes), as well as the big version of the F-22, an F-15, an F-18 and the big Draken, among others. The F-14 was from Mike Mayberry ("Maybz" on RCG) and is still available from Hoosier Cutout Service.
The Concorde was my design. Funny story, I asked my buddies what they would like to see. One said "Do a Concorde!". I had it designed, a prototype cut, painted and decaled in 7 days. CG was too far back on the initial flight, but I got it corrected on the second flight. I still have one hanging in the garage, and I take her out every once in a while. If my arm got twisted hard enough, I could have a kit created (my laser cutter still has all my files).PatComment
