I have never been without a Stik. I still have my Midwest Sweet Stik with the orignial OS45FSR that I built in 1984. I also have a GP Big Stick 60 and a GP Electrostick and they are the most flown of all of my planes The Big Stick 60 has an OS91FX on it and flys just great. RCKen is right, they don't do 3D(of course real airplanes don't fly like that anyway), they are not the fastest but they are aerobatic and gentle all at the same time and one of the fun things to do with them is to point them into the wind and reduce the throttle and just fly it like a kite. Landings are a breeze and they are rugged.
