Sticks, in general, are not really considered high speed planes. They are boxy with a thick airfoil. I've seen quite a few versions of Sticks at the field and they have all been pretty aerobatic. I've never seen the Cedar Hobbies version, as far as I know, but it looks exactly like every other stick I have seen.

I thought about getting the Cedar Hobbies 60 size stick, but went with the Great Planes Big Stik 60 instead. I got the GP for 124.99 after coupon codes and got free shipping. The CH plane would have been about $120 including tax (I live in TX) and shipping so I went with the company I'm more familiar with.

I read somewhere that the CH planes need tri-stock added to the firewall/fuselage joint, but that seems to be common with many ARF models.

For the price, if I was looking for a 40 size stick, I'd give it a shot.
