Flew this little gem for the first time today. All in all I am very pleased. It has a .049 with a 5x3 prop and a balloon tank. The Cox pulled it around with authority and was pleasantly fast without being out of hand. The first few seconds of the flight was a bit of a thrill as I over controlled back and forth a few times but once I got it settled down it behaved quite nicely. On the second flight I put in %60 expo on the elevons and that made it behave much better. I will reduce the throws a little as well for next time. Turn and burn was the ticket for the first few flights but I threw in a few rolls (
scary fast!) and some loops. I did learn that when the engine quits it glides like the space shuttle so keep the nose down and head for home pronto; stalls are abrupt and pronounced.
It was a good day,

Just put the finishing touches on this Stik last night.
I found an old foam core wing at an estate sale and have had it in my garage for the last 10 years. I finally decided that it would make a great Ugly Stik wing so I scratch built the rest of the plane to match. Hopefully it will fly ok.
