Default RE: Bridi Ugly Stick

There are two different versions of the Bridi Stick floating around. There is the Bridi Stick and then the Bridi Old Timer. The only difference is the picture on the box. He dresses the Old Timer a little different. The wheels are not in the kit anyway. Mine was bought as an Old Timer but I have a "Stick" Kit that I haven't built yet. I changed the wheels back to "Cub" ones on this plane.

The plane is built heavy enough for a 45 engine if you want a hot rod.

My Homelite 30 was a new "Short Block" back in the 90's. It has an unknown chain saw flywheel but the ignition module is from a Homelite 25. The carb insulator is a bored out Homelite 25 model. The carb is the WA167-1 from a later model Zenoah 23. The prop is a now defunct Dyna Thrust 18-8. The muffler is from Carr Precision but he no longer sells this type. I made the back plate myself and it is copied after the C-H ignition back plate design. I use a 14 oz tank. Seems to be plenty for me.
