Why change the design... because we can! I agree they fly great out of the box but to me that's part of the hobby,putting your own signature on the aircraft. I think the Stik will look great as a WW1 style airplane, maybe not scale but will look good in my opinion. Plus, it will be easier to follow mine in the air when others at the field are flying at the same time. I fly off a grass runway with it cut short on the landing strip and longer on either side. The tail dragger will go though the high grass much better than a trike. I need to learn how to fly a taildragger since 99% of your low wing, biplane, and or scale acrobatic styles are this style as well. The fixed rear skid will be fun one to learn, I'll have to apply some down elevator (not too much) and goose it while applying the rudder to get her to turn while on the the ground. Once it's lined up and on the trottle, it should track better than a wheel and once the speed is high enough to raise the tail, it's all rudder input to keep her straight. Maybe changing it is a mistake.....nah, I think I'll love it![sm=wink_smile.gif]
