Default Lil Stinker



I remeber a control line model from my childhood made by Cox called a Lil Stinker. I have finally located a set of planes for a 60 size Lil Stinker from a company called R-C Royal. My question is has anyone delt with this company and if so any comments.Theplans sound like a great deal and are supposed to be complete ready to build from but I am leary as they seem pretty inexpensive. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Yeah I remember it being able to twist ya around, I seem to remember it flew on pretty short lines. I just thought it would make a nice plane to model in 60 size.

Same person that goes by uswings on ebay. I've bought plans and part from him several times and he was great to deal with. It's not too hard to find an old Royal Lil' Stinker kit for around $200, may be worth the trouble to not have to cut your own.

My brother had one! Any Pitts S1 plan can be built as Betty Skelton's Little Stinker. Nice project!

Okay Iordered the plans from Royal. Ithink that this will be a fun build. I will be my first r/c biplane. There is a guy at our field who loves biplanes so I will be leaning on him pretty heavy for advice. Iam looking forward to getting the plans and gathering up all the wood. I will have to wait a little while though until I clear my table of the plane I am building now.
