Unfortunately as I put the MT on some longer standoffs I've got a vibration problem which, on the first flight caused the failure of the throttle servo mount and the motor died. No problems with the landing and all was good after a quick repair to the mount. I think I'll remove the standoffs and mount the motor straight on the firewall or on a rubber mount to try and remove the vibration from that one big piston.
The GiantStick flies nice, very stable, and has good roll rate considering the wing area. Unfortunately I ran out of channels on my 9CAP to put the flaps and ailerons on their own channels, I had to use Y-leads. FORTUNATELY, my lovely wife bought be a 12FG for my birthday, which means I've got another 3 channels to play with now! What a woman!
Next thing to do will be to build the lolly bomb bay, and get the smoke setup.
Other than the throttle servo problem, I'm extremely pleased with the Giant Stick, flies just like, well, a giant stick!! :)
