RE: Just ordered a jerry's big boy
I would rate them Big Boy,Ultra Stick Lite,Lainer Wild Stick 120 and GP Big Stick last. Don't know about the Roadrunner. I don't like the GP because of the small tail and the extra landing gear mount for the tricyle gear. Just extra weight for nothing. The only planes I would ever want with a nosegear would be a P-38 or a Grumman Tigercat not a Stick sportplane!

RE: Just ordered a jerry's big boy
Had another great day of flying yesterday. The big boy was great as usual. You can float it in and set down on the gear and just let it roll on and on, throttle up and you're flying again. I think it's my favorite plane so far. To be sure, the VF X300 66 is gonna have to be a darn good flyer to beat it. We'll see.

Yeah, my wing looked just like that too. Oh well, nothing a little big boy blue covering could not cure...

I believe the bolts arm more than strong enough. Take care when drilling the holes for them though, I didn't get the angle right for my left one and it isn't as smooth to install. If there's one weak point in the provided hardware it would be the landing gear. It's very light but that also makes it a bit soft and springy. My field is a little bumpy and sometimes it bends the gear a little. I put some fibreglass on the firewall and on the fuse where the gear bolts on. Thats the only "beefing up" I've done to it. I'm looking for the pic of mine with the hatch on top. Found it. I had another better shot but don't know what happened to it. You can just see it in this one. Also, make sure you open the right place for your servo. It's easy to open the wrong bay.

I got my jerry's big boy in yesterday and man dose this plane look good but one thing that is troubling me is the size of the wing hold down bolts they are very small so please some of you guys tell me if you are having problems with them. I don't to go flying and have a real bad day because of some small wing bolts.
