- re STICK planes:
-
-
- I have never built a "Stick" but have flown many. They are excelent inverted
- flyers in that they have a totally symetrical wing and if built the way I
- like'em, a flat wing. They are pretty much a box and wing. A good choice.
- BEWARE of aileron flutter on "Sticks". Some have the ailerons extending
- beyond the tip of the wing...sort of flaired to the outsede. If it has this,
- change it so there is a piece of the aileron stock cememted to the rear of the
- wing tip and have the true aileron start a few inches inboard of that. This
- should help if you are like me and want a real cookin' engine up front.
- Remember, always seal the hinge gap!
