SSC SPAD-STANG
For those of you looking to fly SSC and like to build SPAD's try building a COROSTANG and extend the wing out to 60"s.. You will love it!!
Nope no Armor in the wing. I will lay some BiDi Tape to the L.E. before combat but that is it! I am not to worried about damage! Unless K-9 is flying in the same heat as me. We have a habit of finding each other in the air!!! LOL!!
I will see how it fairs up against the COBRA's and the other War Birds this weekend at the Pearl Harbor Classic in SoCal. If it does well I will switch all my SSC stuff over to them.
If you try one Cajun I think you will love it!

Big Dawg, That banana stang sure looks good. It will even look better from the angle my little White Russian will be in. Right behind you.LOL You know we always seem to find each other in the sky. Just think when your coro stang and my coro mig meet it will be raining yellow snow. See ya tomorrow, K9 out.

James, on your 60" wing, what lengths did you use for root and tip chord. The picture appears to be the plans spec 9"/5".
I am planning on building one this week with a foam core in the leading edge to spar. Been wanting to try this for a while, so now's a good time play with it. I should be able to do this and using a bladder instead of a tank, keep it under 3 lbs. The wing loading would be better at 2.7 lbs though.

The wing is 10" at the root and 6" at the tip. Double taper just like that of the 2610 version. The spar is 11/8" tall at the center and 1/2" at the tips. i will see if i can find the time to do up some specs this weekend. Firewall is 1/4" ply and the rear former in the fuselage just behind the wing is 4mm coro gooped inplace to keep the weight down but still keep it nice and strong. I set the CG at 28% to keep it quick on the turns. For the first flight you might want to set it at 25% and adjust from there. As for the flutes in the fuselage I did not cut them out I just scored them with a screw driver. This makes the fuselage much stronger and keeps it from flexing so much when you grab a hold of it. You will need to cut a little off the nose coro until it lines up with the front of your motor. Other than that, go build one and have fun with a scale SSC bird that flys as good as it looks!!
