Default Stickit IV

YES, LISTEN TO DAVE!

He helped me with me stickit about a year and a half ago. I have built 4 since and LOVE that plane! The latest version of mine has the modifications Dave suggested above but with shearwebs down the entire length of wing. It also has an internal fuel tank which makes the plane's trim stay the same for the duration of the flight. I use a Rossi .40, great engine, spinning a 12x4 prop and have more power than I ever need. Make sure you use a strong sero on that elevator because it can loop within its own length with enough servo torque. My entire tail secton is about 50% larger than the plans show; set up like the stickit V. I also use a large fibergalss fishing pole cut down to the proper length for my boom so it is one piece so that the tail section never dislodges. The landing gear on mine are the same as a fazer's. This is not needed, just a personal choice because I do not like the tip skids and it taxis ALOT better.

Have fun!
