i concure with Glacier
as soon as you have flown stock and want to take it one step further then you are going way pasted the limit

i can understand your point in keeping a simple stock thread but some of these guy's that have flown stock for many months/years have been there and fixed the problems..
also they are so willing to help in any way possible,
i have never flown a stock stryker but if i can help with my limited knowledge i will do so

a hop up could be as simple as putting a point on the nose of sanding down to get better airspeed
i dont want this to sound wrong or in anyway sound incorrect but if you have a forum of stock stryker only users it could be like "the blind leading the Blind"
there is a wealth of information that you can tap into on the main thread
Please Jion us..
we all learn and we all teach

as well as that.. we are all crazy too .. MmmmuuuHhhahah
