RE: Great Planes Big Stik Kit Plans
Hey, guys. I saw my name mentioned and thought I'd better jump in.
The absolute best mod is to put 3 degrees of anhedral in each wing panel. Here's the reason and some photos.
For a quick explanation, turn a low wing plane over and what do you have? A high wing plane with anhedral. The low wing plane flies well either upright or inverted, so a high wing plane with anhedral should do the same.
Pictures first, then on the next reply, I'll show you a rehash of an old R/C Report column.
1. The Big Stick actually needed a little more anhedral to cancel roll with rudder.
2. Patches, a Stick made from an old Mach I wing and original fuselage.
3. Great Planes Easy Sport with dihedral brace inverted for anhedral.
4. Eagle trained with wing on upside down to demonstrate anhedral to guys at field.
5. Joss Stick with anhedral.
6. Stealth-original design with PVC fuselage & built up wing.
7. SK50 from Kangke USA.
8. Ultra Stick 40 with 3 deg. anhedral each side. Great knife edge, no roll.
9. Ultra Stick 60 with 3 deg. anhedral.
10. Goldberg Wild Stik 40.
11. Goldberg Wild Stik 120.
