Sorry micro builder, no carbs, just your basic mixture needle.
I also had them on CL planes. Some plastic models that flew fairly
well and a lil' Satan that I built but have never flown.
I bought the Strato Streak for $35 just for the .049 but never built it.
Instead I made a smaller version from scaled down plans. That plane
would have taken me months to build while the micro planes take a
few weeks. I was going to build some electric CL planes until this AA
came along.

bdavison, after looking at the plane in your link some more The first
thing that would have to go is that solid fuselage. That's the first thing
I removed on my SS and replaced it with a 7-11 Slurpie straw. I must
have saved 3 grams right there. The tail would work. Not sure about
those flat wings either. Not much there to produce any lift unless you
steam and curl them into an air foil shape.
I believe I saw one at the begining of this thread that was later turned
into a tri-plane. I'm guessing he added another wing to get that added lift.
(and that Strato Streak pic to the right of it is not an original Strato design)

Sharp looking plane Hello Scott! Clean lines and nicely cut.
Gota love those jets...


This is the Strato Streak I plan to use for the next AA. I believe any of the
old timer's plans from the 40's and 50's would make excellent flyers for
the AA since they're well proven. Taking the extra time to build up a wing
and stab would be well worth it since the construction is pretty straight forward.
Also the 5 rudders, although it might take some patience to trim, should get
the AA to fly straight.
All I need now is to build a balsa box for the receiver.
