Default World SuperStunts 60 Ready for Maiden!

Wanted to try something a little larger than my .40's ... Here's a World Models SuperStunts 60. Powered by TT .61 PRO ... setup for seven channel operation ... crow and everything. Will go up this weekend.

Wish me luck!

I had the 40 size a couple of years ago, it was a real bad flyer but I've heard some good things about the 60 size.

I have both the 40 and 60, both awesome planes and perenial favorites in my hangar. IMHO, they should have been labeled 60 and 120 instead, as they are roughly the same size as the H9 Ultra Stik 60 and 120, but much better constructed.

If you like big huge floaters doing the CROW thang at 1mph over the runway, you'll definitely like this plane.

Default Thoughts

Well ... Due to some unforeseen delays, I didn't actually fly it until last weekend. I got about eight flights in.

The TT pro61 is a nice engine. I usually fly OS, but this engine seemed just as good, and actually a little easier to tune ... the low end idle was set correct out of the box.

The plane flies SUPER easy. It's very slow, and even at full throttle, it's pokey. Slow roll rate ... excellent rudder response, I could fly around the field with only rudder and elevator.

I set the ailerons up so that flaps and ailerons would move together when I flipped a switch (guys ... what's this called?) The roll rate improved somewhat, but it's still pretty slow.

Landing couldn't be easier ... with or without flaps ... super slow approaches and it just settles down ... almost don't need to flare. On one flight I deadsticked and it was just as stress free.

Overall? It's easy and relaxing to fly ... Not the most challening plane to fly in the world, but sure alot of fun. I think it will be a regular for me.

The Superstunts 60 is a blast to fly. I was teaching myself to prop hang with it. It was completely destroyed when I flew it inverted thru a tree. Just wish I had video of the crash. It was something to see. I miss that plane. I have two videos of it flying, one is of it prop hanging on my website on the "Movies" page.

I got real crazy one day and hung a Saito 180 on mine and I also made new stronger rudder and elevator. It was a blast to fly and would hover fairly well but I did not have large enough control surfaces for a good steady hover. I loved taking off in about 20 ft. and pull it straight up and chop the throttle and just hang it about 10 ft. off the deck. I think I have some pics. somewhere of the 180 on it. The fuse was totalled after it launched itself out of my truck bed at 70mph on the interstate on the way to the field. And yes it was straped down but the bungy cord had slipped down off the wing saddle because I did not put it on correctly...what a dummy.

I don't think there is a specific term for this, but it's usually refered to as "full span ailerons".

I have mine set up so that on a 3-position switch, down is CROW or airbrake, middle position is normal flying, and up is full span aileron and elevator->flaps mix for fast rolls and tight loops. I swapped in 3" wide quad flaps so the roll rate is quite a bit faster with full span ailerons.
