Default RE: Dos Little Stiks

Yeah, I guess you're really the one that moved "back to Kansas", Dorothy. Back to your roots.

Is the sweet stick bigger than the Das Little Stik? Someday I'd like to fly another one, but I think I'd use two aileron servos instead of that funky bellcrank system the original used.
I was flying one belonging to a friend of mine one day when both ailerons fluttered themselves off in a 45 degree dive. It rolled the plane inverted, headed for the runway. Kill the throttle, down elevator, and when the nose came up rolled it rightside up with the rudder, then landed. Hey, at least I didn't break the WHOLE plane.. only the ailerons!
