Well I've been working on rebuilding, beefing up/ modifying my Giant Stinger and here are some updated photos.

It's got 6 9402 servos, with mp wild 1" arms and carbon fiber pushrods from Abell hobbies. I also found some cool giant scale hardware that Du-Bro put out that looks great on the tail. Also the reason the wing is missing covering on the tip is because you must imagine the wing being 3" shorter on each end to fit into my truck bed, and alleviate some of the wing snapping possibilites, I've heard of with Giant Stingers. I sheeted the sides of the fuse with 1/16th ply and feathered them into the sides, and I pegged the firewall with 1/8" bamboo skewers. Those were all the most common mods that I heard of so thats what I did. I also recovered the tail with ultracote as this thing has been sitting for quite some time and needed it badly. Let me know what you think.

Keep in mind, if you put the doubler on the out side of the fuse, the wing will no longer fit at the front section, where it is cut-out around the fuse. The fuse is wider than the cut-out now, if it was a good fit when first built.

Well I just got done covering the fuse, and just putting it all back together for the first time in a long while to remember what I am doing this all for, and ran into the problem that was brought up in the first reply here. The wing fits very very snugly now so I will have to do something. I am not going to uncover what I just covered, so I imagine that I'll just have to take some off of the wing. Any other suggestions?

Well here are some more pictures, I've decided that the wing fits in the saddle tight but not too tight. I think that it will be fine like it is.

Let me know what yall think. And oh btw, New Ultracote over old monokote makes for bad lines, as you can see.

Seems like no one is too interested, Oh well, to each his own. I also forgot that I bought a Futaba 9zap for this thing. Hopefully it will let me wring it out pretty good.

Hey, I've already changed my idea for the tail a little bit obviously, but I was wanting to get some input from yall on how to cover the wing, fuse sides, wheelpants? What are/is a good trim scheme for this? Also I think that I am going to update the cowling, probably making it look something along these lines, Anyone know of one that looks like or similar to that that I could buy somewhere? I've seen some pattern planes with similar ones but I'm not familiar. I've got a quadra 52 in the nose so It'd have to mostly fit around that. Also I've clipped the wing 3" on either side and since it started out a 84" now its a 78" wing. Isn't 80" IMAA legal? And could I just have some removable sticks or something to meet the minimums? The wing was just too dang big @84" Wouldn't even fit in my truck.
Thanks,

C.P.
