RE: I Come, Seeking Guidance! Enlarged BUSA Stik 40
Good afternoon,
Years ago, like the late 80s I took a swizzle stick and blew it up to a wingspan of right at 8 feet and it was a great flying plane. I didn't know much about enlarging a plane then so I just multiplied every deminsion by a constant and where I could I user a copier to enlarge some parts, like a wing rib. This turned out o be a swizzle stick on pills, like I said wings of about 9 feet but I flew it with a 90 engine. I think it was a super tiger but was doing good to afford that back then.
This giant stick flew great, in fact so good that a friend of mine actually learned to fly with it. He didn't have any of the new flyer problems with telling which way the plane was going either.
Go for it but if you are going to make a standard stick fuselage a Q42 will be hard to mount and you won't need any near that to fly a stick. Something like a 120 four stroke, one of the older ones with not excessive power, would be good.
