Default RE: Ugly Stick Build

I recently built a Midwest Little Stick kit from a short kit I got from [link=http://lazer-works.com]Lazer Works[/link]. Very nice short kit. I'm currently flying a trainer to get reaclimated after an extended absense from the hobby. But I kinda put the donkey before the cart on this one and decided to build the little stick just to see if I was interested. I haven’t flown it yet but it is built and ready to fly. It has a Super Tigre G-51 with a header and pipe on it. Talk about overkill! I had one just like it back in the early 80s with an OS 40FX and pipe. This G-51 is turning an APC 12.25x3.75 right at 14,000. Can’t wait to fly it! In the attached image, it has an OS 46AX on it. The rudder and elevator servos (Hitech Mighty Mini HS-225MG) and battery are in the back. There are two aileron servos (HS-225MG) and a micro (HS-81) on the throttle. Other changes I made were cutting about 3/4" off the nose, adding 2" to the wing and making the rudder bigger. All up weight is 4lb 2oz.
