Default "lil Stinker"



I am in the process of building a scale "lil Stinker" Pits S1 from a set of Sterling plans and was curious if anyone on here has built one from these plans or other plans and how it turned out. The specs for this plane call for a .60 2 stroke glow but Iam thinking along the lines of a 4 stroke maybe something in the .90 range but undecided as of yet. Just finished all the wood cutting and hopefully begin building this weekend. Anyone who has built this plane and has any input please chime in.

I'm built one from the Royal kit and then enlarged it to 1/3 scale and built it again.

My mistake, the plans are Royal. Did you do your lil stinker from a kit or the plans and how did it perform. I like the idea of a larger version. When I finish with this I may have the plans blown up. As it is real Lil Stinker was so small that the plans actually are 1/4 scale and meant for a .60 size engine. Ithink that I will go bigger though.
