Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

Hello,

Question about the stir stick mod.

But first and introduction. I was lucky enough to pick up my first AA at target when they had that $17.48 clearance in maybe June. I put in on the shelf for a couple of weeks before I ever opened it. Obviously that was a big mistake. As soon as I flew it the first time, I ran back to target to buy the rest of them. Called all over several states, but of course they were all sold out of the clearance pack. Searching on line at that time for a place to buy more AAs cheaply, I came accross this forum and have been lurking ever since. I have also tried some of the mods like the stering mod and the mono wing mod. I now have 2 bipes and the jet with maybe 100 hours on them. I fianlly joined RC Universe today and this is my first post. I joined because you can't search the posts unless you are a member. I was trying to figure out exactly what the stir stick mod is supposed to do. The photos are pretty self explanitory, but not totally.

Anyway, the question is what is the purpose of the stir stock mod. What I got from what seems to be the original post on the topic was that it is intended to keep the "wings from floating the fuse." What does that mean? Is this to increase the rigidity of the wings? Does it change the dihedral of the wings - adding tension or compression?

Thanks in advance for your explanation.
