Default What is the difference....

Just curious, what is the difference between a stick and a RoadRunner. Also, is it possible to buy a RoadRunner anymore. I see them at the field alot but I've never seen one for sale.

You see a lot of Road Runners at your field, because the Road Runners were manufactures in Lander WY. I have never seen one on this end of the country. But, I have seen thousands of Sticks. The Road Runner was a Stick. The basic Stick design can be traced back to Phil Kraft's "Das Ugly Stick" which was published in the May/June issue of Radio Control and Model Aircraft World in 1966.

If you want a Roadrunner, I suggest that you contact Bill Carpenter at CH Ignitions. If anyone can tell you if Roadrunners are still available Bill Carpenter can.
