RE: What size StiK?
The only plane in my hanger that stays on float charge is an Ultra Stick Lite 120 because it is the goto plane for windy days or a short flying session. It sets up very quickly and because it is gas powered, needs no support field box or clean up stuff and the fuel is cheap.
The plane is important enough to have a spare in the box (fortunate because it was discontinued).
Viva la sticks!
