I have 6 ST in action. Best bang for your buck. They where all I used until I got into speed and now use the Rossi, MVVS, and Jett, but you will pay $ for those. One thing that Is a MUST is the barrel screw that the barrel is held in place and moves and rotates. Vibration will cause the screw to loosen and cause the barrel to lock where ever it is when it locks. Full, half or idle throttle. I have seen 2 planes crash because of this problem and several caught on the ground before take off. A Extra 300 60 and a P-51 Mustang 40 hit because of the problem. Use red lock tight to hold the screw in place. As far as the crab. It is fine. Never have I nor the member at my club had a transition issue with the crab tuned right and polished. Take the barrel and give it a good polishing and the air hole as well. Also take the High and Low needle pins and polish them as well to remove any small burs from the factory. Polish NOT GRIND OR SAND. The needle are very precise and just need to be polished. The red lock tight can be removed with heat. It is stronger than the blue, but I would use one or the other. If you don't Lock tight the screw, remember I told you so. Because sooner or later the screw WILL come lose and lock the barrel. If you need me to I can post a photo of what I am talking about.
