How long is the GWS Stik STICK?
*sigh* I went to build my GWS Stik (actually, a J3S - stik with yellow wings) and I must've used the fuse stick for something in the distant past. I don't remember what I used it for!!!
Does anyone know how long the danged thing is? Even better, the stick dimensions would be good, but I've got both spruce and balsa downstairs and can strip anything to size.....the box lists the plane as 26.6" long, but I'm sure that includes the prop and tail surfaces...
Thanks.

The stick length is not critical to a point, if you keep it between 24"~ 26" you should be golden.
PS- basswood seems to work best, $1.25 at the LHS.
Good luck,

Hi Rob....... my GWS replacement sticks are exactly 22 inches long...... the correct height and thickness is whatever fits tightly within your GWS wing and IPS gearmotor mountings.... I would use the stiffest type wood for that purpose as it's prone to twist during lively flying.......... kw
