The Perfexion OD (POD) is my latest outdoor 3D design and man is it a great flyer!  It was inspired by my successful indoor design, but I made many changes to make it more suitable for outdoor flight.  The first thing I did was add some sweep to the wings for better wind penetration and less "pitchy-ness" at speed.  I made some other proportional changes as well.  The construction is similar to the indoor models and results in a very strong and very stiff structure.

The results are excellent.  This thing flies like a .25-sized glow ship.  It can penetrate moderate winds and maintain speed and momentum.  It rolls very fast and axially.  The knife edge coupling is almost non-existent - no mixes required.  It is precise yet 3D's like a champ.  In short, it is the most enjoyable airplane I have ever flown - period.

Some of the cool things that you can do with the POD are the knife-edge wall.  Yep, just get her charging WOT straight ahead, roll to knife-edge, and slam full top rudder while chopping the throttle.  She'll pop up and start sliding sideways - cool!  Very high-alpha rolling harriers are also a joy as she'll stay rolling and controllable at very slow speeds and very high AOAs.  Another thing is precision.  I can do a horizon to horizon slow roll with her.  Try that with a your typical profile fuse foamie!  She flies big - like a glow ship - without the bad habits.

I'm lovin' my Perfexion OD.  She looks great and flies "big."
