Ok what is the word on the street on the World Models Super Stunt 60. Looked at one today, other than being kinda ugly..looks like it might be fun.

I own one, I call it my kite. Its very lite and has a huge wing load on it, this thing practicly floats in the air. The wing stretches to 80" which will allow you into big bird events, Don't deprive this plane of power I am running a TH .75 which is the mimium about of power this plane is happy with. If I had it to do over I would have placed a 100 4 stroke on it.

Looking at installing my YS91 AC on it.. should not need for power.
I am considering the aircraft.. Randy would you buy it again? I am at a level that needs fairly stable flying habits if in trouble.

This was my second plane after migrating from my trainer so to answer your question honestly "no" but please don't let my words defray you from purchasing this plane. The reason I would not purchase it again is because I have found another plane that flies close to the ST 60 but allows me to preform 3D and that is the AW edge 540 T. This plane is very docile in the air as well and I call it my glider with an engine.

The plane is by far stable very stable and the YS91 would haul it around greatly. If you are not familiar with the WM ARF's their instructions are lacking in detail most just show you pictures and you have to figure out how things go together.

I got the Super Stunt 60 after hearing from Randy and a couple of other owners. (Thanks, Randy.) I was so impressed with it I went ahead and bought a Super Stunt 40 when WM had a $10 rebate on it back in April. I've been having a ball flying the SS40 ever since. I added flaps to the SS40 like on the SS60 so it has all the same capabilities of the bigger brother. I programmed my 9C as per instructions for the H9 Ultra Stik. It has become my favorate plane for honing my flying skill after a 10yrs hiatus from RC. Compared to the extremely popular Ultra Stik series, these WM Super Stunts, being very similar except lighter, bigger and cheaper, are genuine sleepers.

My SS40 with an Irvine .53 and 8(!) servos on board weighs in at 5 lbs 13 Oz. The wing area after the 4servo wing mod is 945 sq.in., which yields a wing loading of about 14 Oz./sq.ft. The SS60 will be even less, at around 12 Oz./sq.ft. estimated. The old saying about lighter planes fly better couldn't be more true with these birds. Most of the time I just putt around the sky at barely above idle. This plane doesn't know what a stall is; it just kinda mush forward like the big Kadet Senior does.

Anyways, since I stole the taller landing gears from the SS60 for better prop clearance flying the SS40 off grass, my SS60 is still sitting on the bench awaiting a taildragger conversion. While I'm at at it, I plan to split the elevator and reshape/strengthen the vertical tail, which has been a reported weak point of these planes. Power will come from either an Magnum 1.08 2stroke or an APS 1.20 4stroke. I read about a guy who put a Saito 1.80 on one, and I believed he bought a second SS60.

I really love the two-piece wing with balsa-filled aluminum joiner tube and removable horizontal tail. The down and right thrust is built into the firewall. The build quality is excellent, as I've come to expect from WM. The hardware is perfectly adequate, though I will upgrade them on the SS60 since I'll be overpowering it. I actually like the instruction manuals. They have few words, but the drawings clearly illustrate everything you need to do, which isn't much. I guess I'm used to the European pictogram style manuals. Personally, concise well-drawn pictures are much preferred for these jaundiced eyes that have grown tired of reading pages upon pages of instruction text.

Would I buy another one? Yes, if I don't already have my eyes set on the new WM Super Sport Senior. But for $199, I might just get another SS60 to do a low-wing conversion and put one of my weedies on it.

Randy, which AW Edge 540 is that? They have about a dozen or so different models, and even the .60/.90 one is priced leaques above the SS60.

Volfy, I believe I know the person you are speaking of with the Saito 1.80, if its the same person, he is a member of my club. He purchased the SS60 after test flying mine

He had to make several modifications to the plane in order to handle the power that the engine would be putting it through. I have not yet seen the plane but have heard that the control surfaces have been enlarged.

I made the mistake of purchasing the Tower Hobbies .75 and placed it on mine which I will do again. They are junk!
