Please email the pdf file to me. I have two boys who are interested in a summer scratch build project. The Ugly Stick would be a perfect choice. Thank you, Tom.

I recently received a fuselage and wing that was started and was told it was an ugly stik. If you have plans or know where I can get them please sent them to me or direct me towards them.

RE: Phil Krafts Original Ugly Stick
Finally flew mine last weekend. Smashed my RCM Trainer that I used for a fun flyer Darn IT!
Flies great, the Super Tiger 60 Blue head ABC ring is more than enough power. Turned out nose heavy so have to add weight in the tail but no big thing.
Great to have an Ugly Stick again, this must be my fourth or fifth.

RE: Phil Krafts Original Ugly Stick
Hi Ugly-Stick-Fans
I would appreciate also a plan as pdf. email address is [email protected]
I downloaded somewhere (can't remember) the plans for an ugly stick 40 in CAD format. Link was somewhere here or
on rcgroups.
I printed out the plan (it was in .vlm and .dxf format) on draftboard and printed it out tiled to a3.
Now my question: is it right that the root rib is 30 cm which is around 12 inches ? The span would be around 60". I printed it
out in scale 1:1.... but it seems big to me...
Can anyone help ?
Best regards from Geneva
Chris

I recently purchased 3 Jenson DAS UGLY STICKS in very used condition and would like to know the center of gravity and contol throws.
Thanks Larry

Had at least three of them. The Jenson plans show 4 ¾†from the leading edge. But I found to get it to spin well it needs to be back further.

Hi CCRC1,
I too built an ugly stick in about 84, powered by an ST G60 bluehead and later with a pipe too! Hankpajari, does this seem a coincidence?
Anyway, the fuselage is long destroyed but I think I can probably save the wing still. CCRC1, I'd be most thankful if you sent me the PDF too. [email protected]

Good news,
I have the above image of the original plans in a .pdf file. I took it to my local blueprint copier and he printed it out and was able to enlarge it using the scale drawn on the plan. He got it to within 1/32". Close enough for a Stik!
If anybody would like the .pdf file let me know and I can e-mail it to you.
Grid Leaks Plan Service is long out of business so I don't know any other way to get an original copy.

Please? I've had to leave the .com off the addy as it did it again..
Hi CCRC1 !
I just noticed your home town there...
I spent several years stationed there in the late 50's Charlie Battery 3rd Missile Batt. 362 Arty.. Waldorf, Maryland. That does bring back Memories these days.
Am Sure that Waldorf has changed since then though. Least I hope it has.
If you would please forward a copy of the pdf. on the stick. Please?
I need a good work horse again..my last lasted for 15 yrs..and was well oil soaked
and falling apart when it met its demise.
Thank You in advance.

RE: Phil Krafts Original Ugly Stick
When you save the wing remember to use silk and dope to cover it. Monokote doesn't have the strength necessary.
Mine flies great with the Bluehead. It is not broken in yet so I am plagued with deadsticks. Thanks to the great design I have always been able to get it back to the runway.
Good luck.
BTW Someone should design a wing that is strong enough to use Monokote or the like. The fuse and tail feathers are super easy to replicate. This design will still be flying long after I am gone. It is also a super first "kit" build for todays fliers.

Got it !! Thank You..CCRC1
Will use Tile Print and print it out soon.. In fact yesterday, I ran across the old rib pattern for the .90 size that I built for one of my Students. As I recall he installed a O.S. .91 on it. It would fly at a slow walk. But lost it one day when he dropped the
Xmitter and caught it with the elevator stick. From sholder height and full down it didn't take long to rekit.. Aughh, not nice.
Thanks Again !!

The later Jenson kits included wood and instructions to add shear webs to the main wing spares for folks that were planning to use MonoKote. I had one with a silk and dope covered wing and three with MonoKote covered wings. They all worked fine.

RE: Phil Krafts Original Ugly Stick
Right. All of mine, at least the last 3 or 4 had the shear webs. They still felt too flimsy for Monokote.
I built one in the 70's where I cut the ribs down for cap strips and a sheeted leading edge, from the leading edge to the spar. That one I covered with Monokote.
That being said I still believe this to be one of the best trainer/sport airplanes ever. Fast building and cheap. With a flat wing it will groove pretty good.

RE: Phil Krafts Original Ugly Stick
I have plans for the Jensen Ugly Stik, They are pretty well cut up but should be quite serviceable. $3 plus actual mailing, about 1.40. They are folded of course.
Any interest.

Your E-mail address kept kicking back.
On your last post you put a dot after the word "net" and that extends the address. I tried it by typing it in without the extra letters after "net", lets see if you get it.
