Default RE: Lanier Stinger 10 Questions

I have one framed up, for .15 power. One of the reasons I have not finished it was that years ago (back when I built it) one of the local airshow pilots took off with one that had a .15FP in it and after a decent takeoff roll it rotated, swapped wingtips for a few ocillations and snapped into the ground. No idea how heavy it was or how it was balanced, but it had enough airspeed that I thought it should have been flying and controllable.

Radio gear is a lot lighter these days, you'll probably be ok. Mine is set up for S-133's and what was available at the time..
