I built the Stiletto 660 by Walter
see thread  http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php?topic=20093.0


Well, I have become addicted to Stilettos. Was saving to buy another 660 from Walter, but found one on eBay from the early to mid 70's. I saw this kit at Orange Blossom Hobbies in Miami, Fla circa 1979. I was flying Combat with Nemesis and S.T's G21-35s. I also had a Sig Kougar with a K/B 6.5 painted as the box.
Had just finished building the Gesieke Nobler. Had no money left to buy the Stiletto. But when I got the green, it was gone! I could not pass this one up. I just had lost a bid on the Ercoupe by M&P on ebay  the day before because I forgot to add more $. Enough of the long story.
I got the Stiletto. TODAY!!! 

Now, I KNOW that many of you have built this one. And with the experience and knowledge that I will absorb from the tips and suggestions everyone offers, I will be in ever indebtedness.
The questions:
What should I improve (if any) on this kit for a tighter current stunt requirements. Not that I fly there yet. But would like to have the ship ready.
Would an LA 46 do well enough to fly this aircraft to modern stunt requirements? Any other engines?

Thank you for your thoughts
 

Hi Rafael,

Aaron and I have a M&P Stiletto kit (thanks, Ty!) and have considered the Aero Tiger .36 per Randy Smith's suggestion.  However, I do have a ST .46 (a few) and would not hesitate using one of those.  I suspect an OS .46LA would do a fine job, too!

FYI  beware of weight.  I have an M&P Stilletto and the first thing Les McDonald said when he saw it was," DON'T BUILD IT."  It has been davised by others also to just clone the kit with light wood as it is too heavy (the wood in the kit).

Ah,  one of these days...

I think the M&P kit used the Sig Super Chipmunk Wing. I built one from the plans and used the Chipmunk wing and it was the same as the kit. It was a very good flying model with a ST/40 in it.
