RE: Big Stick40
I've had so many sticks that I've lost count. They are easy to build (and even easier with today's ARF technology), easy to maintain and great to fly. Right now I've got two Mini Ultra Sticks and an Ultra Stock 25E, and they are teriffic. I'll always have at least one stick ready to fly at all time. It's the one plane that's totally reliable all the time.
A friend just built a Big Stick 40 and let me fly it. Very nice plane.
