Other People's LiteSTICKs

Mods, from front to back:
- Nyblimp gearbox lightening mods (Thanks, Gabe).
- Motor rotated below fuse stick for more prop clearance.
- Motor mounted with masking tape and a drop of CA.
- ESC soldered directly to motor...lot of wire eliminated there.
- .050" Carbon landing gear, and left off O-rings.
- Balsa battery mount with velcro, and rubber band to guard against dropped batteries.
- Balsa receiver mount.
- Nyblimp servo mount (Thanks, again, Gabe).
- .050" carbon pushrods...elevator horn flipped to allow "pull" for up elevator.
- .050" carbon tailskid
All up weight without batteries is 125 grams. I use either the 6-cell, 270mAh nicad that came with the flight pack (good in wind), 7-cell 270mAh nimh, or the Ray-O-Vac 9Vs for power. It loops from level flight, and has given me a whole lot of fun for the money since getting back into R/C. I'm thinking about a Triplane next, if I can find some wings or kits cheap enough!!! Any questions, suggestions, or comments, you can email me at Gofli@aol.com
