RE: Cedar Hobbies Stick 40
The servo exit wire on the servo itself is in the way when you try to install the servo in the wing. I just drilled a gap so the wire exit can slip through. Just make sure you glue in that servo plate good!
I've been flying this plane alot! I mean,, it's the best flying glow plane I've ever owned. It's no performance plane but it sure does fly great. Very aerobatic. Hanging the plane on the prop is pretty fun too. Doesn't work to well but it does if theres a bit of headwind..hehe.
Because of it's slow flying characteristics, landing this thing is a snap. Put it in idle, float it down, and taxi it in. no probs. You will like this plane..

RE: Cedar Hobbies Stick 40
cool glad to hear it flies that well...just finished it today..plan on flying it on friday or saturday cant wait..i used digital futaba s3151 servos and as my first plane(hobbico superstar) had s3003 it should be alot more responsive.I also put a 52 magnum in it so should have plenty of power. I am at high altitude to need to add a little more power than you would at lower altitude.

RE: Cedar Hobbies Stick 40
I have 3151s in mine. Works just fine!
Also my .51 Supertigre engine flies this plane nice. Not Unlimited vertical, but it sure does haul booty with a 11x5 MA prop.
You'll love this plane man. Probably won't go back to your trainer anymore because this plane is just all out fun.
Good luck on the maiden. I first used low rates and now I just highrates with extra end point adjustments. I needed more aileron throws. The elevator is not pitchy.
Where did your CG ended up at? Mine is aroudn 3 3/4" and it flies inverted with a very small touch of down. I could move the CG back a bit more but I have no nose weight on the nose so I don't want to add any weight at the tail..
good Luck!
