I got to thinking how similar my Easy Star wing was to the wing I had on my WASP and decided to do some experimenting. All I had to do was drill one small hole in the center of the ES wing to bolt it on. It's held on with a pvc strap and balances just right without any further mods. I flew it yesterday for the first time and was impressed enough that I came home and did a little more tweeking but I haven't flown it yet. I had to paint the wing red with testors but I like the way it looks on the Easy Star also. It sure makes it a lot easier to see against a cloud. Here are two videos I did yesterday also. The first one is with my Head Cam so you can see how it flies and the second one is on board video using the same plane and wing.

the normal looking one ... Wing was a combination of Clark-Y and S3021.
AstroFlight 05 geared, and
Speed 600 geared motor, 13x10 prop, 8x1400 Nicads
Pod plane.. same wing and power.
The normal plane outclimbed the pod plane the day I flew the wing on both of them.
The wing needed more dihedral, so I extended the tips 9 inches on each side, and tippet them up, after some flying.. to improve the lateral response with the rudder.
The pod plane carried two Aiptek 1.3M cameras arranged to shoot just off the center of the flight path with about a 5 degree overlap at the center to give a wide-angle coverage.
The normal plane had the camera outside at first, then inside looking straight down.
