Great planes giant ugly stick 50cc
Has anyone seen one of these with a 50cc engine? Looking for unlimited vertical without breaking the bank. I see them in ARF for $209 the 82" wing 13-15lb version. for 35cc engine, my 50cc weighs only a few ounces more and I'm itchin to slap it onto a basic airframe and fly it.
Oh wait this ARF i'm looking at is not from Great Planes but rather a probably cheaply built knock off, I may have to beef up the engine mounting and apply some tri-stock reinforcing material.

Friend of mine stuck a DLE 55 on the nose of a GP Giant Stick, and it was ballistic, to say the least. Prop clearance was a problem, plus had to really beef up the front end, to take all the punishment from the power. What brought it in was a hard pullup from a downline, and the wing came off. Pilot error, since it was full throttle at the time.
