Guys I have been flying the crap out of my big stik, about 30 flights this week alone, I noticed yesterday that at very high speed there is a slight buzz. I landed and checked absolutely everything like 4 times in a row. I remembered that when researching my purchase, on this very sight, that these planes like to flutter ailerons about. I took some clear packing tape and sealed all of my hinge gaps and flew it again. WOW..one, the noise is gone,two it is an even better flying/handling airplane.
I just ordered some red mono to fix it properly.
Thanks RCU, because of you, I knew that noise was not normal, I knew what to do about it ,and you guys in all likelyhood saved the extremely valuable to me, big red ugly stik, my favorite plane.
Thank you again guys. Great Job RCU members
P.S. I am saving up for an ultra stick, I love these planes.

Hey CG it is this one http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...=0 I do not have any idea how fast it actually is but I am running a ST.75 ringed, with a 13x7ma for everyday flying, and a 14x4W apc when I want to get all showstopper with it. So I actually use a couple diff props depending on my mood.
