The LS150 is the Littlest Stick enlarged to 150%. The Plans are here http://my.pclink.com/~dfritzke/

Thanks guys, i got the plans and Tileprint..
Hey, PT, how does the LS150 differ from your DNU? Maybe I need to build them both?!

Jason,
Do a search on LS150. You will find tons and tons of info on it. There was about 10 of us that built that LS150 a couple of years ago. There is a couple of mods to do that will make it look and fly alittle better than a straight 150% LS.

RE: LS150- where to get plans?
The LS150 is based on the rudder-only Littlest Stik. The DNU is based on the original Stik moments using the areas of the LS150 and borrowing the Ace foam wing airfoil. Flyswatter built an LS150 and it was anything but easy to fly. Not so much a bad flyer, just not "stik-like". You'll want to trim the width and height of the LS150 fuselage so it won't be too fat and watch your weight. Some even added extra wing bays to tame it a little. It's a great base plan to modify from.
I am not claiming the DNU is better! It had different design goals. (mine!)

RE: LS150- where to get plans?
Well, I better do my homework and search the forum and research a bit- I'm happy to get feedback from you folks too!
I'm not committed to building the LS150 yet.. I like the looks of it, and the fact that it looks like a quick build. My goal is to build something that looks simple, and is a quick build. But, if it takes the superhuman reflexes of a teenage video gamer to fly it, then I need something more tame!! :-) Is the DNU easier to fly? I expect it will be much racier than a high-wing trainer, and that's ok. But, if it is unflyable by all but a very experienced (and ultra-quick reflexed) few, then I better set my sites on another airframe..

Jason, what I saw with Flyswatter's build may differ from other peoples experience, so don't judge it based on one opinion. Adding a wing bay on each end would have helped quite a bit.

Jason,
I have not built one of Patrick's DNU so I can't say how it flys other than I am sure it flys well. As for the LS150. It was the first plane I have built and flown in 10years! Built it straight and it will fly very well. I started out flying mine with a stock Black Widow and then started playing with faster engines. I think I took 1/2 inch out of the fuse sides and added an extra bay to each side of the wing(helped slow down the landing)
