Anyone have experience with this model, and what flight characteristics should I expect? Will probably use Thunder Tiger GP42 to power it.

I've been flying this plane and loving it for more than 1/2 yr now. I just finished up its larger sibling, Super Stunt 60, and flew that one this past weekend. IMHO, this duo is the best kept secret in all of RCdom. They just get drowned out by H9's extremely popular Ultra Stick series.

I bought the 40 back when WM had a $10 rebate on it - wish I had bought 2. Sizewise, it is actually comparable to the Ultra Stick 60. I had an Irvine .53 in it originally. It flew beautifully, had plenty of power, and kept the plane very lightweight. It was the perfect plane for my getting back into RC after a long 10yr hiatus. I took it to the field the first time by myself and was just taxiing it around the grass runway getting used to the ground handling and working up my nerves to take to the air. I advanced the throttle a little too much on one run and it just TOOK OFF!!! Needless to say, I didn't bother to clean up the mess I made in my pants, as I was busy concentrating on flying the thing. Luckily, much to my surprise, it required next to no trim adjustments and is as docile as any of the so-called trainers I've flown way back when.

Well, since then I've switched to an ASP .75 and have been having a ball everytime I fly it. I've gotten a few more planes now, but the Super Stunt 40 is the trusty ol' Stik I take to the field every time. It does just about every trick in the book, especially since I added quad flaps to it. The dihedral does make knife edge difficult without a computer radio to mix out the pitch and roll coupling, but then again, a precision aerobatic plane it ain't. It is just a good all around knock about plane.

I'm sure the TT GP42 will fly it okay, though probably not a lot of fun. If you don't live too far from southwest Houston, I'll be more than happy to show you mine.

Thanx for the shared wisdom. I also have a OS.61FX I might install instead.

lots of super stunts around here, both sizes, but more of the smaller one (not really small though, still a pretty large plane). I would echo the comment that they are the best kept secret around the arf world. WONDERFULL flyers. The 40's need a bit of strengthening in the wing center section though for most people. Several have folded. Of course,..as a testimonial to the design,..everyone that's folded a wing, buys another one, reinforces the wing, and continues to fly them.

Hmmmm, I see how that could be a problem. Thank you for that insight. I will reinforce where the wing halves meet before I fly it.

they don't fail in the center, it's just out from that, inch or so away fromt he fuse side. One local simply slit the covering and put a strip of carbon top and bottom
