Is there such a thing as a Stick style ARF that can handle a 50cc engine? If so please advise.

Thanks

Yeah, that is a pretty good source. Personally, I have a Great Planes Giant Stik flying for years now with a 50cc twin I built, and it does great. Before I put the 50cc twin on it, I flew it for about a year with a Poulan 42cc on it. Other than those two options, if you want to build a kit, here is another source: http://www.amr-rc.com/products-brand...assembled/amr/

Good luck with your project whatever you decide,

I've considered one of those Texasrcplanes from time to time but I've never seen anything from them in person. Could anybody compare their overall quality to one of the better known companies? How about the covering? Some kind of Chinacote or a known brand? Just curious .....

Good question.I'd like to know also.

there is one more option from Pilot-RC:
Please, take a look at this post:

It is 90" wingspan plane capable to handle 20cc to 50cc engine.
it is ~5kg heavy w/o floats and ~8+ kg with floats flying by 40cc gas engine.
the only thing ... I did front plane reinforcement with additional plywood panels and foam type glue.
it has very good airfoil for super slow flying capability.
Initially I was using it as a "stand" for my 40cc engine setup and brake in period, but later realize that plane is very capable to be loaded by over 3 kg floats and be a very good float plane flyer.
I am also using it on tires for high altitude aerial photography with 0.7 kg camera.

Thanks. I'm concerned if it can handle a 50cc for sport flying.
