Default RE: Stinger 120 Wing Lightening/Strengthening

Hi SVFlier,

I am building the kit version of the Stinger 120 and am making the 80 inch wing. I want the airplane to have as low a wing loading as possible, so have elected to use as many square inches of wing area as possible. Also am trying to eliminate as much un-needed weight as I can without compromising structural integrity.

I will power my model with a Zenoah G26. As far as glow is concerned, I decided against it as the cost of fuel would be much more than gasoline and glow fuel is much more messy than gas. If I had to use a glow type engine, it would be as large a four stroke as I could afford to buy. I want a lot of thrust with a large low pitch prop so the Stinger will be able to flow relativly slowly but still be aerobatic.

Hope this will be of help.
