hi jbrmoto,

Thanks for your update - the GMSs will have plenty of power. I would be very interested to hear how your Stik behaves at full throttle, as the stik wing is relatively thick.

Your plan to buy one GMS and try the other with the .40 LA is good, I am still planning a 'winter stik' powered by a .40LA, so would welcome a report on the .40 LA if you try it. With our nosegear setup and small fuel tank it just isn't worth the time and trouble to swap out engine mounts and try it myself!

I saw from your other post that you are going taildragger (good choice), and also duel aileron servos. We built ours with a single servo and bellcranks (partly because we wanted a 'period piece'); it is a good setup but 2 aileron servos is a better plan.

We are getting an OS .25 FX in any case as the Kobra engine bay is tiny - no room for anything bigger. We may break it in on the Stik, if we do I 'll let you know how that works.

Good luck with your builds, they lood great so far (and great looking Contender as well!).

Brgds
