Gene, that is simply gorgeous. Beautiful job, sir. Have you flown her yet?
Ya know, I got into electrics last year, and haven't cranked a glow engine since. But reading through this thread has given me the urge to dust off my old Kougar/OS .40 combo and make a mess. I've still got some fuel around here, somewhere...
And build a Stik. I built the Midwest example as a second or third model, back in the late 80's, put a zillion flights on it, and finally gave it to a youngster a few years back.
Come to think of it, The Empire still offers an electric version… Hmmmmm...
