4/11/11: Stik-E-1 is now ready for its maiden flight! Not flown, but will hang on the prop while blowing a ton of dust around my basement!
I guess "Stik-E-1" is now official, seeing as I have now added that to the fuse sides!!
Mini-Toledo plane?----- hmmm, that means I can't fly the beast for almost two weeks! Not sure I can wait that long, I'm dying to see what it can do. Let's see what the weather does between now and then!

04/24/11: Maiden Flight:
"Lightning maidened his Stik-E-1 today with great results - - - other than finding out one lap into his second flight that he had not charged the second battery. No harm, just a bit of a retrieval walk by one of his pit crew.

Stabilizer to cover and control surfaces yet to install. That red is Ferrari red, but it looks orange in the photos!

01/22/11:
Bottom of wing is covered. Too bad I ran out of black Monokote - maybe I'll find a roll at the swap meet tomorrow.
Translucent gold is specially for Don, so he can read "bottom" on all my ribs from the same side!

It is more or less built. Damn, that was a lot of sheeting! Need to shape the wing leading edge, add the servo mounts (wing and fuse) then get started on the motor mounting. Note the wing tip redesign!
