RE: Great Planes Big Stik Kit Plans
Here's what happened to the Wild Stik with anhedral. I manager to stumble and stepped on the stab. I couldn't get it straight, so I lopped it off and flew the plane as a flying wing or tailless design. Flew great, actually. It would do some cool end-over-end tumbles. No, I didn't trim down and sand the stub stabs, I just sawed the stab off. No, I didn't cover the bare balsa with epoxy, the plane was practically a wreck anyway. It was expendable.
I finally had an engine failure and landed in a tree, tearing the gear off. I was going to fix it, but fuel had soaked through much of the covering-it was several years old-and it wasn't worth it.
I still had the Wild Stik wing, so, guess what, I recycled it and made another plane. PVC downspout fuselage, hand launch. Yes, that's a screen door handle. Flies OK. Needs the CG moved back.
I didn't mean to take up so much space, but sometimes I just get going. If you have any questions, I'm here.
