RE: Stick plane
G'day
If you do a Google search for "Original Das Ugly Stick" you will find the plans of Phil Kraft's original version of the Stick. The story is worth reading. And the plane is worth building too.
The original Das Ugly Stick had a round cowl, a pilot sitting on top of the wing and his machine gun. It is very loosely based on the German WWI Fokker Eindeker of about 1915.
The original was for a 40 size engine and is about 60 inches wingspan but there is nothing to stop you scaling the plan up to suit your larger engine choice.
