Just showing off what can be done with a "boring cookie-cutter" ARF

This used to be a Great Planes Big Stik .40 ARF. One of the old versions that sold in the late 90's. This is my all-time favorite design and I have owned four of them.
OS .46FX on the nose. I did the modifications after I decided she needed recovering. Doubled the size of the airlerons, converted to low-wing fuselage, V-tail mod, plywood tip plates. I haven't flown her since the work, but maybe this Saturday.

Nice bash, Lomcevak Duck! I almost didn't look at this thread when I saw it was entitled "My Stik" and that there were pictures.

Thanks Ed. Title appropriately changed to reflect the nature of "My Stik"

Looks good but now it needs a canopy just behind the wing to make it look more racy. ENJOY !!! RED

Right, a rear canopy and a radial cowl.

Hehe. I'll consider it. [8D]

Gotta' agree....it needs something up there in the canopy dept. Hey, I hunt a little South of you by the way!

doesn't matter if there's a canopy or not,
it's just a stick.

I didn't put a canopy on it for the same reason I kept the teardrop stab. shape. I wanted it to retain some Stik appearance. I flew her today for the first time since the modifications. All went well. She's every bit as stable as in the stock form, and respods very well to my inputs. I've got to reduce the incedence of the wing becaus eit balloons a bit after picking up some speed, but other than that I'm very pleased with the way it flies.
