Pro-Flow 3-D Canisters
Planebender Products Presents This Months RC "Pilot of the Month"

My dad turned me onto a little cox.020 Pitts for a Christmas present back in the mid 60’s when I was 5 yrs. old. From that moment I ripped it out of the box I was HOOKED with model aviation. Soon after that My Dad, again, bought me my first RC kit, the RCM Trainer 60 by Joe Bridi and dad built my first radio, a 6ch. World Engines Blue Max and I built my first plane. Since then I have built many kits. Giant Scale flying for me started back in the late 80’s with Warbirds. From there I began to dabble with acrobatic planes such as the Pirate Models Extra 300’s and Lanier. I hooked up with a 4 man team called Team Extra. There I was introduced into IMAC type flying. Traveling to the local full sized airshows throughout SOCAL putting on our 4 man flight demos and at the local fun fly’s as well,,, Yes we had “fun fly’s” back then,,, the word “huckfest” wasn’t even born back then. If ya ask me, the word “ huckfest” is a funny name for a fun fly.
Then came pylon racing. There’s nothing like a 200mph plane buzzing around you and the pylons. But I never forgot GS, it was always there in the back of mind. Well after many trips throughout SOCAL, AZ, OR and a solo run at the 2002 NATS for which I brought home some wood from a 10th place finish in quickee out of 80 racers, I continued racing until recently when I came back to GS Warbirds again. After flying Warbirds again I got bored with that, picked up another IMAC type plane and I knew this is where I wanted to be. Then a short while ago I saw this add for a compy 330SX and kept my eye on it. A friend of mine, Mike Stroup, gave me Dave’s contact info and I met Dave for the exchange. So, I am the second proud owner of this 3.1 SX compy. There’s a story behind this plane that I was told about and I will never forget that the original owner will live on through this plane. It’s an awesome flyer with Jr gear, smartfly Eq6 Turbo, a 3W-170 and Proflows. Semper Fidelis
Welcome
From the very first time I flew using Canister exhaust I liked the quiet sound, it reminded me of my race car engines. The only problem was the severe "hesitation and load up" I experienced during the low to high transition. All of the canister systems I tried were not 3D friendly- the mid range throttle control forced continual "jockeying" of the stick to achieve the result of an "electric transition feel." With today's cost of Giant Scale Aerobatic Planes you need to have the ultimate confidence in your power source- particularly when you are hovering 6" off the ground.
That’s when I decided to design and develop canisters that would be user friendly for my flying style. It took me one year of testing prototypes to finally arrive at our finished product. And I have to say I am very proud of how they perform!! I let a few friends that fly severe cold and scorching hot weather try the cans out and they were very pleased in the instant difference in throttle transition they felt. So after giving it some thought and taking the advice of my close friends in the RC community I decided to manufacture the “PRO FLOW 3-D CANISTERS”
Pro-Flow users are instantly amazed at how smooth their motor runs and just how "linear" the throttle control feels……………and as a bonus the plane sounds cooler too.
The additional level of precision, by providing positive throttle control, has aided many IMAC Pilots to achieve higher scores AND reduce noise foot print.
Available to suit most all gas engines up to 222cc.
