How does the ultra stick compare to the GP stick?
My Big Stick .60 has NO dihedral and uses a symetrical airfoil.
The Ultra Stiks of this size also have flaps.
I haven't found ANY need for them what-so-ever with my Stik.
I also have crashed my Stik nose first in a power dive into the ground, which shattered the fuselage in four places, ripped out the firewall, tail, and central section.
Because of the simple design I was able to rebuild and recover the broken fuse, and fix the torn off wing mount in 2-3 hours... most of the time was spent waiting for the glue to dry.
The solid red covering is easier to work with than the transparent coverings on the Ultras IMHO and makes for quicker repairs.
I do like the wings on the Ultra's however.
