Default Balsa USA Thunderbug 120

I had a Stingray 120, which is pretty much the same plane, except midwing instead of low. Mine was covered in koverall and nitrate dope. The color coats were Black Baron Epoxy. An ASP 1.08 made for a good match. I sold it after 2 yrs to fund other projects.

The stock landing gear is terrible and would drag in grass. You'd be much better off substituting any suitable aluminum blank. Excellent elevator response, but the ailerons were slow to my liking, even with lots of throw. If I did it again I would clip a bay off each wing.

Regards,
Kelly
