Default RE: about to order 2nd plane

Which one do you like better! That is the queston to ask.

If you go with the stik, build the wing flat (no dihedral). It will be the most fun you will have. I have built many that way and they all fly great, have no tendancy to snap or roll or do anything bad, but they will do anything you throw at it in the maneuver category. My first choice of the two 10 times over. Put a second gear on it at the wing bay for floats and set the mains just under the front of the wing. It makes a better tail dragger than a trike, and has no bad tendancies on the ground, and rocks on floats!!!!

The tiger is fun, but the stik is more agile and handles better at low speed. It will do a lot of the maneuvers, but the stik will do them better.

Both are fun, but you gotta build the one you like the best. I will probably always have a stik ready to fly though. If you go that way and have questions about gear placement and stuff, yell and I will shoot you some pics. I even made glass gear with longer legs for the floats and longer props.
