Does anyone know if the plane called the "Littlest Stick" is still available as a kit? It is for .010 power, was kitted in the late 70's or early 80s. The kit came in a plastic bag. Don't know who made it. It the kit isn't available does anyone know how to obtain the plan? Very simple model and would be fun to fly again.

That's FUNNY! [sm=lol.gif] I'll have to use that one instead of my previous favorite: "Glides like a handful of car keys!"

Ray- Unless you can build it 5 ounces or less...put a .020 on it. I don't think the .010 likes planes over 5 ozs.
I found that, with rudder only,you can make a nice landing with motor control and a 180 electric motor. It needs a little power all the way down.
You can control the amount of climb or descent by using the motor control.
Deadstick.... it is pretty well a lawn dart.

Thanks for the plan page fritzke . I picked up a littlest stick kit from Hobby Shack before it became Hobby People, but I traded it for an ACE Grasshopper at a swap. They may still have the kit. Was $10 if I remember right...

When I read this thread it reminded me that I may have a Littlest Stick kit stashed away somewhere.
Turns out I have a similar, if more authentic design, called a Fokker Elll Eindecker kit by Competition Models Inc. for .010 to .024 engines from the sixties. Plans show a single channel receiver with Bonner Escapement for rudder only. Wing span is 33" and fuse is 24" long. Kit includes a neat set of decals for the wings, fuse and rudder in good shape. If anyone is interested in the plans or kit, let me know.
