I have an Ugly Stick. I'm not sure how old. It seems small compared to the others. My wing is only 46in.

Any thoughts
Andrew

Maybe you have a "Das Liddle Stik" by Larry Leonard. Presented in RCM May '68.

Thanks weathervane. I've now got a plan and scaled it up a 68" wing span and the machine is 2/3 built. I've decided to put my Enya 61 in it and see how that goes..haha! I should have it finished by Christmas..( with a little bit of luck )

Cheers, Bill

I would enjoy getting ahold of the pdf. plans for the 56 inch wingspan model everyone is speaking of. I believe the Jensen kit is the one. Please pm me if you have one, or even an old set of paper plans. I am not rich but could even afford a small pittance.

Thanks!

Going through some of my old plans I came accross one for a "Super Sweet Stik"..A Midwest kit. I am going to try and tape it back together ,and have copies made. They are really old,and falling apart..Plans show a nose wheel,...60 Size ..Has a 60 inch wing. Looks like it might be fun..

Happy New Year to you all!

What is your asking price?... one kit..?
Have already one kit in original state, one other is sadly not complete... was thingking to make the missing parts myself or to order the parts at a local kit cutter... to build and fly it... parts fuse, tail and nice pre V-shaped spars are missing...
Though I rather restore it to its former glory... +30 years old!
Found both on Ebay.

Thanks Bas

I know this is an old post, but wondered if you still would be willing to send me a PDF of the plans you offered. If so, send me an email address and I will send you mine.

Thanks!
Tommy

FYI: The Midwest "Das Little Stick" is 46". I have one I am currently recovering for VR/CS, that I originally built in the early 70's from the Midwest kit.

Well folks, 2007 has been & gone...now wishing you all a "HAPPY NEW YEAR"
I finally finished my modified STIK, 70" wing span, Enya 60 Xll on the nose and ALW of 8 lb. I used SIG Koverall over the whole structure and would use it again...easy to use, strong and gives a nice finish.
Boxing Day started out fine and I decided it was time to take the STIK to the field and have a test flight & after all the range checks & motor run, I did a couple of taxi runs down the short, grass strip and then finally committed the Beast to the air. She became airborne in approx 15 mtrs at 75% power and from that moment on, I knew I was in Deep trouble as I had neglected to set up the Dual Rates & Exponential for the the Elevator & Ailerons. After a 50 second circuit which included an un intended snap roll & a loop I managed to get it back for a final approach and intended landing which resulted in the arrival with tera firma at a 15 deg angle that demolished the front end back to the 2nd bulkhead.
Everything has now been repaired, the radio (JR-XP6102) set up with about 60% less movement for elevator/ailerons and now just waiting for the weather to fine up again so I can get back to the field for another attempt ...I may even enlist the help of another club member using mode 2 who has flown a bit more recently than myself.

Cheers,
Bill.
