Hey guys,

I have flown my World Models Super Stunts 40 for a while now, and I am confident with my flying skills. I have safely taken off and landed on asphalt, concrete, and grass. I can do all the basic aerobatics with ease and tried to hover the thing a couple of times! A little too underpowered and not enough control surface for that though. Anyways, I'm looking for a solid aerobatic plane and I was thinking about getting a Great Planes Super Sportster 40 MKII as the next step up from my "Big-Stick" in disguise. Is this a good aerobatic performer as well as a stable lander? What are the ups and downs overall with this plane. Also, I was thinking about putting an O.S. 46SF with a 10x7 APC prop on it, would this provide enough power to haul it through its paces? Any info you guys may have is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

I have had a 40 size super sportster that I built from a kit with an os 40 fx now for three years. I'm no expert pilot and I love it. I would think it would be less aerobatic than you super stunts. I've just acquired a super stunts 40 for use as a knock around plane, so I guess we're going in reverse.

The Sportster is a solid, pattern type sport plane. It's not meant to do 3D. I think Waagbuck may be right about the Super Stunts being more aerobatic.

You might want to try the Somethin' Extra, and over power it if you're looking for 3D.
