RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

Yep, this plane continues to be a disappoinment. Mine has sat idle because it seems like every time I fly it, I have to rebuild something. So yesterday I decided to take it out cause it really is a...

RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

Dick, you may have a good idea. How would you attach the pants with the flanges removed?

Well, I flew my STA after modifying the gear and the wing. Problem was, I forgot to rebalance the plane...

RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

No, this is a very poorly engineered plane. The 40 LA would probably do it but you'd be at a scale speed with nothing to spare. I haven't tried to make fiberglass wheel pants. I'm afraid I wouldn't...

RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

I'm test flying my Ryan today after modifying the landing gear and wing.

I've had 6 flights with this plane and on three landings, the gear came off. The problem is they use very thin plywood...

RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

Doug, I have an OS .52 4-stroke in mine and it works well. Goes a bit above scale looking speed so I run mine at maybe 75% throttle.

RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

Isnt it heck when you have to re-engineer a plane? I fixed the landing gear and am going to fly it today. At least now I have a bit of spring when I land. I'm thinking about ripping the covering off...

RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

Dick, I'm kinda glad to hear you say that your wing has a lot of flex in it also......it was nagging me that maybe I did some damage that I didnt catch. As the flex seemed equal on both wings, I...

RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

Hey there,

Well, I took my Ryan out yesterday. On my first flight, I had a hard landing....not bad, but enough to flip it on its nose...on grass with the stock wheels and fairings. The wheel...

RE: Sportsman Avaiation Ryan STA

Well, I have this plane and I'm less than satisfied. As far as its flight characteristics, perhaps my expectations were too high. It fies well, very stable, easy to take off and land, but I did...
