Hi F2titan, I have a super stick 40 that was given to me by an older club member. I have recovered it in Monokote (much better now) and added some glue here and there for strength. I have not flown it yet, but I was wondering the same thing about the elevator travel. I plan on putting a Saito .72 up front.
The questions I have are:
1) Did you modify the elevator or rudder for more elevator travel?
2) What travel values are you using?
3) Did you put your CG 1/8 or 3/4 behind the spar?
4) If no mods were done, how is the elevator response while flying?
Anybody feel free to add your comments
Thanks,
DTB

Hi all! Hey, I'm just finishing up a H9 Super Stick 40. I put the rudder, and elevator control surfaces on last night. And in looking at it this morning the elevator seems like it could, or should have more up travel to it. It stops on the rudder of course. Has any one else had this situation? Is it ok as-is, or should I shave some off the lower rudder? Or maybe cut a "V" into the elevator to allow more travel? Seems to me that would weaken the elevator thou. Any thoughts????
I going with a OS 50SX on her.
