Default Foam Wings - Lightweight Covering

The Durastick flies very well. I first flew the stock airplane with an OS 40. I thought it needed a kick and I had an old Super Tiger 51 sitting around so I threw that on the plane. I flew the stock airplane with the 51 for about a year.

I have just completed the tail dragger conversion and the doubling of the size of the elevator and rudder. This added the kick I was looking for. It is now a great aerobatic airplane. The tailboom doesn't quite have the strength to get to carried away with the aerobatics but it's good for practice.

I don't think the wing looks too bad without sheeting. It is also plenty strong. I have done inside and outside snaps and loops and lots of other +/- g maneuvers with no problems. I am actually more concerned about the tail boom than the wing.
