Big Stick Resource ?
I thought I would throw this out. I've surfed the net to see if there is a Big Stick ARC - .60 to .90 size engine out there.
I've not been to successful. Any of you know of this type of aircraft avail for purchase ? Thanks

I'd recommend buying a Hangar 9 Super Stick .40 or .60 ARF and recovering it. You won't have any trouble peeling off the shelf paper covering that H9 uses on their Value Series ARFs.

That's a thought ! Since it's still early in my posting, I'll sit it out awhile and see if there are any other responses. But, I will look into your suggestion though. Thanks

RE: Big Stick Resource ?
If you mean Big Stick as in Great Planes Big Stik, it does not exist in ARC form.
If you mean "Big Stick" in the generic sense of anything patterned after the original Ugly Stick, it is possible that an ARC version exists. I've never seen one or a link to one, though.

Carrell, thanks for your input. Yes, what you assumed was what I was thinking. When I stated "Big Stick", I was thinking of the original take off of the "Das Ugly Stick" series. I am in agreement with not "seeing" a ARC series at this time. I may have to "bite" the bullet and scratch one, as I still have the plans from a previous aircraft I had several years ago. Mike

If you have the plans, you could have had one cut out by now. You will only find them once in a great while here on RCU and the Bay, so just scratch one. Nice to know there are 2 of us that know what a great plane the sticks were. One of the best ever. Good Luck, Dave

I am a builder BUT for the last two years I have been flying a Great Planes "Big Stick 60 ARF " & am really sold on it . Very hard to beat it for the price . I just wish I would have spent a little more time on it & changed it over to a tail dragger . Give it a try , MAX H.

RE: Big Stick Resource ?
Thanks Big, I just realized my plans that I currently have is for a .40 size which I stated earlier to scratch a plane, thinking they were .60. I bit the bullet and just sent off to RCM plan division for a .60 Das Ugly Stick aka Jensen. Yeah, bang for the buck the GP sick looks good, but, I really do enjoy slicing and gluing my fingers together Thanks for the suggestion and to those that responded. PS: I do have an ARF though, it's a DP Ultimate with a ST. 2300 on the nose. NICE flyin' plane.
