Default RE: AMR Giant Stick 50

Good morning, i am happy you like the way of building construction design . In 1992 i did build and fly the Great Planes Big Stick 60 with a Super Tigre 75. I use to fly it until the darkness, next time i will put lights in the wings. Many years after i did build a Giant Sweet and low stick from Midwest kit. I still have one with a zdz40.

For this 106" Stick, i got an idea to install the Balsa USA first war machine gun wood kit they sold. I will figure out how to fix it to the top hatch or in the center wings.

We did start another big project, we blow up the Big Hots to 12 feet, change the way of building it, a new fuselage concept, 6 inches ribs thickness, a crazy idea ;-)

Managed to make some progress this week-end on the wing halves, hope to have the wings finished by weeks end.
Enjoy,
Brian

Finished the wing halves, these wings are rock solid once sheeted! Next will be the fuse. Need to order some covering, heading down the back stretch! Michel, that monster stick makes the giant look little!.
Later,
Brian

The Giant Stick wings are larger than I pictured in my head. Very nice.

Hello super08,
I like to put up photo's to show size or use for comparisons. Nothing more frustrating than not getting the actual look/feel of the size of a project during a build thread!
Thanks,
Brian
