Default RE: Great Planes Giant Ugly Stick

Super,

Wow what a wreck! Sorry about that.

I now have 24 flights on mine and am really enjoying it a bunch. I have a CRRC 40 on it using the beam mounts and still have the standoffs behind a plywood mount forward of the firewall. It still took several oz. to balance. I have a Turnigy 50HP to add soon, I doubt there will be any weight penalty, or at least very minor balance issues done properly. I replaced all hinges with Dubro nylon.
The plane flies well but is a little short of unlimited vertical.
Sweet plane!
