Did any of you guys catch the $10 rebate on the Yellow Super Stunt 40? I got mine from Quantum and just sent out the rebate form. This plane is just as beautifully built as the Super Stunt 60 I bought recently. It's BIG for a 40 size - the dimensions are practically the same as the H9 Ultra Stick 60. Yet it is built as light as a 40. Looks like even with a .75 in the nose, it'll weigh right around the factory claimed 5.5 lbs. And all this for $89!!! I could hardly believe it. Wolrd Models continue to amaze me with their quality and price.

The only minuses are the smallish fuel tank and no provisions for quad-servo wing, but both won't be hard to fix.

I got the red Super Stunts 40 from Quantmum Models. No rebate but I'm satisfied anyway. Very nicely built ARF. Mine has a saito 91 in the nose. I changed the rudder shape, cut the bottom fuse covering and added a little balsa around the tail feathers. Glassed the firewall. My horns seemed a little flimsy and were changed. I moved the engine servo back one bay and still had to put the battery pack behind the servos ( I added a small box directly behind the servos and installed the battery from the bottom) for balance with out adding extra weight. JR 10x with DS 8411 digitals on Ele/Rud to try them out. Will test fly next week.

Mode 1, your mods sound good. Are you shaping the rudder along the lines of the H9 Ultra Stick? I'm planning on splitting the elevator and reshaping the vertical feather on my SS60, but I'm told by the family accountant to leave it alone on the SS40 because it's "cute". She let my buy both planes so I'm not about to argue with her.

I agree about the fuse needing some beefing up near the tail feathers. Since I'm installing the rudder servo just in front of the vertical fin (driving the rudder pull-pull with solid 2-56 rods), I inserted a small plank of balsa vertically into each of 2 factory pull-pull wire exit holes and glue it to the two ply sections of the fuse side. This stiffened up the tail quite a bit. I also added some tri-stock to the base of the vertical fin.

I'm thinking about splitting the aileron like on the SS60. I can decide whether to leave it simple the way it is, or get the flexibility of added flaps.

hey guys!!--I have the super stunts 40--im just flying it with a thunder tiger pro46 and let me tell you this plane is a blast!!!--you will have a ball with this one!!.....joe

Volfy- I have had several of the tradional "stick" rounded rudders and there are many of the "ultra" rudders around where I fly. I reshaped the factory rudder to aprox the same as the ultra, then chopped off a triangle from the bottom and top of the rear of the rudder. About a two inch triangle. Also removed the same amount from the front of the fin. The blunt cut at the front looks a little odd at first but I have grown to like it. I believe I have seen a ww1 type tail shape like this somewhere befor. My 35 mm photo equipment is expensive but does not take photos closer than four feet. I am shopping for a digital and will soon have the ability to post decent close photos. Happy flying.
