It's actually faster to build a Stik without plans if you know what you're doing. I just draw on the wood and start cutting. The only parts I will generally draw is the rib pattern and the rudder/fin because I tend to make mine too small so I'll draw on cardstock, cut it out and check it against the assembled plane (however much is built by that time) and see how it looks.

Photos on this page are my latest that's still not done due to lack of motivation. Knight Stik: http://www.airfieldmodels.com/inform...oard/index.htm

My Stik 30:

I'm rebuilding this one for a second time. I broke the fuselage when unloading it from the car so may as well make other improvements while repairing. It's the predecessor of Knight Stik. At this point the model is very well refined. Normal stiks are too long for my liking. These two models are little hot-rods. I can do anything I want to them in the air without anything falling apart including full throttle power dives. No flutter, no snapped wings - I'm happy.
