I have built and flown the Stick 40 and offer a a few comments.

1---Mine developed a big time sympathetic vibration at the forward wing dowels. It was so bad that it burned--yes burned-- half way thru one of the dowels and charred the other. I reinforced both with brass tubing and still have the problem. As a last resort I might change the metal mount for a glass reinforced mount.

2---I flew it a few times without the flaps programmed. I have now started using all the goodies and it is a lot of fun.

I just installed a new Irvine 46. Have not flown the new engine as yet but it sure is a beauty.
