giant big stick or giant super sportster???
i have a magnum 1.80 two stroke that needs a home
the engine itself weights 55oz w/o muffler
From what I have been read the giant big stick requires around 55oz in the nose to balance well. I’m not worried about that plane and engine combo
How would the giant super sportster (GSS) do with that much weight up front? I’m looking for a plane that will float around well/ fly slow/do some basic imac/pattern with so much weight in the front (i.e. nose heavy) would the GSS be floaty at all?
Which plane would be better at inverted flight, loops, rolls, high alpha/slow flight, rolling circles, hammer heads, stall turns, ect? I am really split between the two planes and don’t know what to pick, anything would help.
i am also open to other ideas (keep it around 300)
thanks

My GSS has a 180 Saito. balances with no added weight and flys very well with it. It is a floater but with my limited skills it lands very well does nice loops stall turns and knife edge. Lots of fun!!!
