Title: Great Planes Big Stick 20 -adapted to Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on June 24, 2018, 05:21:24 PM My old Spadstick ( http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/spadstick-electric-(full-size)/) finally died. My own mistake, pilot error. Was taking a slow turn in a very high crosswind, and it tip-stalled from 30 feet under power nose down ;D
Since it was such a favourite, I just had to build a new one, but I wanted something a little different. So chose this. 52"span, 1.75 Kg AUW, 32 ASP engine, fully symmetrical wing (the Spadstick is flat bottomed) (https://s25.postimg.cc/o3033ron3/IMG_20180610_201351050.jpg) (https://s25.postimg.cc/lkee3n87z/IMG_20180610_201429532.jpg) Title: Re: Great Planes Big Stick 20 -adapted to Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on June 24, 2018, 05:22:30 PM (https://s25.postimg.cc/oehjh2uyn/IMG_20180610_201434259.jpg)

Title: Re: Great Planes Big Stick 20 -adapted to Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on June 24, 2018, 06:32:38 PM Was thinking of thermocole wing tips, covered with diluted epoxy, putty, then oil paint, but thought it was too much work! So just used thick vinyl

Needed some left trim - you can see in the maiden video it swerved to the right immediately it lifted, but that was all
A very sweet flying model, sporty, yet stable. Handles very well in wind, and slows down beautifully for landing https://youtu.be/OY8iNan8cb0 Title: Re: Great Planes Big Stick 20 -adapted to Corro Post by: K K Iyer on June 24, 2018, 07:48:23 PM @sanjayrai55,
Sir, That you could build a plane this size in only 1.75kg is a valuable lesson for aspiring model builders... Regards Title: Re: Great Planes Big Stick 20 -adapted to Corro Post by: sanjayrai55 on June 24, 2018, 07:50:49 PM Iyer sir, I think the original Great Planes version (in balsa) is about the same weight also
