Hi Fellows: My first trainer was a PT-40 from Tower Hobbies. Move to an Eagle 2 when the PT flew away, and was lost. I buildt the Balsa USA Stik 40 plus with ailerons, but some how missed doing any test flights. In paging through different articles, there was one which discussed the Stik 40 plus model. From the flight experience, there was a suggestion to increase the aileron deflection more up and down than what was listed in the building manual. It seems the suggested amount did not give very good control in flight. I have made that adjustment on my plane already, but our club just lost the flying site; so the test flying will have to wait. Mounted an OS Max LA .46 blue engine, and think it might be a bit big for such a small light model.

My Eagle 2 has a TT .42 engine, and flys the plane very well. Through some mismanagement of the TX controls, this plane has gone through several rebuilds, and has become somewhat an antique. The 1994 Royal Aire 40T is what I am flying now with JBA engines. Just removed the .39, and have the .46 installed. Needed more power for vertical flight to do maneuvers.

Cheers!!!
