Default RE: Not for beginners?

I noticed the Hanger 9 version had flaps. And the flaps were down in the picture while the ailerons were up. Thats called "crowing". Its an old technique stolen from the glider guys. Kind of advanced stuff. We want to teach you , not the plane.

The problem I have with those big versions of Stiks is the wing loading isn't high enough. They are kites. The 40 size sticks were dense little rascals that felt like a fighter. Thats one of the things they teach you to do, fly high wing loading airplanes. The big ones miss that point.
