Had my maiden flight on my monocote covered, moki 1.8, S stinker the other day. Never weighed it but Im guessing around 13 pounds or less dry. 2nd flight on takeoff rolling vertical into the clouds. Very impressed with power combo. Not a precision machine though, have to fight it to do a knife edge but a lot of fun to toss it around.Stalls straight ahead and a real *****cat on landing. Feels a lot like my old GP skybolt. Anyway I dont know if this is the right forum for this but so far I am very happy. P.S. The moki exceeded my expectations and I dont find it that thirsty for fuel as others have claimed, possibly because I was at 1/4 - 1/3 throttle for most of my flight.

Red Rover, I'm also flying a new Super Stinker (pic in my gallery) with the same moki set up. I agree with your assessment. Power and verticle are super. Mine came out at 12#12oz but this is my 2nd one and I knew where I could lighten up some. Beware of the bottom wing working loose if you left the tab setup on the root rib for holding the wing on. I put hard points and dowels in mine. These are a ball to really rip around (try a full throttle blender :0 )but the bottom wing can (and will) have a failure if you left the tab arrangement in place to hold the wing on.

Are you suggesting I drill a couple holes and epoxy dowels in the leading edge instead of the tab?
