Help With the length of my Stinger!

Anyone that has experience in this would be of great help to me. I was wondering if different lengths are helpful or hurtful ( More or Less Power)? I would also be looking for explosive power at the end of the Stroke. The girth I have no choice as that is the size of my Pipe! I will be using a heat resistant Zipper tie to hold it in place.

Thanks in advance.

Good you inserted a photo Bob...you were scaring me with the size of your pipe and length and girth talk...just saying!

Slide it on all the way if you can
Two big tie wraps and it will stay until its old and rotten, never had one come off, never came off with 1 tie wrap either. Do use real tie wraps and not dollar store carp.

Rick,

How long are you making this thing?

Looks like it will go past the end of the tail! LOL

Ha!! Awesome post Bob

I have these issues with length also. Power is not an problem but mine has more girth so may be a factor.

Don't forget to calculate in The Angle of the Dangle!

If miscalculated may throw everything out-a-whack!

Good one never thought of that! Don't want to crash on first flight.. Also don't want a green stinger from dragging on the grass. Thanks for the timely input!
