Default Stinger 60 Flight report

This is my second balsa plane. Its a Lanier Stinger 60. I have a Saito 82 for a power plant with a Futaba flight pack. This plane is a blast to fly. Rolls were fast for its size, I knife edged for the first time, tail stalls were snappy, and the wide square wing made for fun slow fly-bys followed by an almost vertical climb from near stand still. This was my first day to fly her but with a few more flights I think I can get her to flat spin and do other aerobatics until my thumbs are numb. Engines new so I still got a little more power coming to me! Later guys...happy flying!

It's a great flyer, huh? I had the same ARF with a TT .91. It flys great in the wind and well fast or slow. Try an APC prop for a little more performance also.

thanks for the tip man. I had to glue down my canopy cause wind got underneath it a blew it off. I also added a Punisher skull and checkered the bottom of the wing to help with washing out on hazy days.
