Andy,
The plans for the Kraft Ugly Stick that I have show 61" wings with the tips included. The fuselage is 41.8. From the prop to the tip of the rudder it is 49". 49/61= 80% Shorter than what you've quoted. I just want it to fly like a stick. Then again I supposed you could ask just what is a stick since there have been so many different models kitted and manufactured by different people over the years. I'll shut up now.

This is a Joss Stik I got from w8ye in a trade, it measures, fuse==50.5" and the wing span is 67.5". I believe it was considered a .90 sized plane. This one is set up for a SuperTigre .90 Davis Diesel conversion.

John,

I like the planes and I am with you, as long as it flies good! I have a GP 40 size and had a H9 120. I really like the GP but the H9 was a little on the heavy side probably why they might the light version.

Andy

Hobbsy,

Do you have any 4 stroke radials? That would be just to cool looking on a Stick! I've not been running so much glow, not so much the price, just not to good at taking the time to clean the oil off. I still like the sound of 4 strokes and O love the look of a radial.

Andy

IMHO, it has to have scallops and a round rudder, so, yes, Hangar 9 model is definitely something else!

The neat thing about building from a kit is it is really easy to turn it into what you want. Want scallops - sand them in, want a square tail - build it.
If it come with the stab on the bottom of the fuselage like the original and you want it on the top - change it. Damn I like kits.
John

Andy, I had a Saito .90 triple that would have been perfect but had to sell some of my engines over the last few months so it is gone. But maybe by next spring I can get another. That is my hope. It has flown with a Webra .90 and flies on rails.

Hello

Target weight is 16 pounds max with a ZDZ40cc, As soon one prototype is built, we will weight the airframe

Up to now: fuselage all balsa, lite-ply doubler firewall to rear wing. all balsa ribs and webbing, all balsa tail group. 3/8 inch firewall, 1/4 inch 6061 T-6 main gear , 4 inch wheels , Ohio tailwheel small one

3/32 balsa sheeting.

Agreed, I'm not trying to change your mind on the design. I see your point about the scallops. I can easily add them if I decide to get the kit.

Hobbsy,

Thats cool! I had a Saito .72 on my GP 40 size but was having a little trouble getting the prop to clear the grass, good runner though. I noticed you were selling stuff off in the market. I hope you can get a new one or ones soon!


Andy

Here it is

Sweet!!!!!!!

Ken

Fuselage is built, weight 44 oz !

Wing jig will be included, pictures later today

[sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif] Looking great!
John

few picture

Where are the outboard nacelles located for the 3-engine option!?!?

The outboard nacells are contained in the lead held by the pencil in your hand. You just have to move your hand in an X Y motion and the plans will down load from your brain to the paper.
John

AMR website now list both low wing and high wing 30cc stiks for sale, engines included

Ok, looks like it will fit in my car, now I need to figure out funding. [sm=tongue_smile.gif] I have not owned something this large, what kind of servo's are we talking here ? Not even sure what power plant either, I'll have to think about that too.

Andy

Andy,
A good value for your money on the servo's are the Hitec HS645MG's. These are high torque servo's and thay are reasonably priced. They can be found for around $35 a pop. I am using them in my 33% Waco and 33% J-3 Cub.
Anthony

here it is

I like the fact that you've included both tail designs.
John

Very nice! Let us know what the weight is when its complete with the engine you chose.

Andy

Michel that looks nice, the wing looks like it is built nice and light. Add a Spandau machine gun on top and a WWI pilot and go have fun
Later!!!
Anthony
