Default RE: Great Planes Giant Ugly Stick


I finally got to do the maiden on my Big Stik. What a nice flyer !

Went with the tail-dragger configuration. The flaps are made active and a quarter of an inch of down elevator was programmed in when the flaps are activated down. Total weight 13 pounds 8 ounces.

Used the O.S.GT33 gasser for power. I used a set of 30cc DLE engine standoffs http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXYUT3&P=ML These standoffs worked out like they were designed for this engine and plane combination. Used a 3 1/2” Tru Turn spinner.

I only have 3 flights so I’m leaving my high-side setting a little on the rich side ‘til I get about 10 flights on her. Then I’ll start to lean it out.
