I have a regular Giant Big Stik, and I just love that thing. It is powered by a 50cc twin cylinder engine that I made out of two Echo 25cc weedeater engines. I ran it out of gas one day, and hit some high power lines while trying to stretch the glide back to the field. It hung there for a second, then fell straight down on its nose from about 50 feet. Didn't hurt the engine thankfully, but it really trashed the fuselage. I immediately rebuilt it, better than new. Shortened the nose a bit to make up for the weight of that twin. It's got an ugly scar on the landing gear where it hit the power line, but instead of dressing it out and polishing it, I left it there as a well earned "battle scar."

I really appreciate the precision aerobatics of my Extra, Katana, etc., but for some reason I always seem to fly the old Stik more! I really do like that new Giant, Giant Stik. Wish I could afford one!!
