Default RE: Great Planes Big Stik Kit Plans

I built a Big Stik 60 from GP plans, and it was a fantastic plane. I lost mine to a crash with another plane in flight. Mine was powered by a ST .75, and needed tail weight. I made it with the four nylon 1/4-20 wing mount screws, which was a good mount system. If I were to build another one, I would change it to tail dragger. I also used two aileron servos. Don't waste time shaping the scallops into the ailerons and elevator unless you really like the appearance- too time consuming and hard to cover. Plane is like a reliable truck with easy handling flight.
