Big Stik ARFs go together so easily, you won't be afraid to fly
them - only 12-15 hours are required for assembly. The superior construction quality,
featuring high-quality woods and MonoKote film, provides the strength to handle
aggressive aerobatics. |
Great Planes constructs these ARFs just like a skilled builder
would do it himself. There's no plastic. The strong, interlocking wood framework
arrives precovered with MonoKote film, in the popular traditional trim scheme
with Maltese Cross. |
These ARFs' enlarged control surfaces improve their ability to
handle 3D aerobatics. Dual aileron servos add precision and authority to aileron
response for crisp maneuvers - and also provide the safety of a backup in case
one servo fails. |

After only 12-15 hours in the workshop, you emerge with a model
equal to any expertly built kit. That's one advantage of Great Planes' almost
ready-to-fly Big Stiks - their huge leap forward in prebuilt quality. Great Planes
also returns to the original Big Stik plans, rather than copying one of the numerous
remakes that crowded airfields over the years. The result? ARFs that unite a pure,
proven design with the best modern model-making technology.
- Over 90% factory-built, with exceptional quality wood construction
and preapplied MonoKote covering.
- Large wing and high wing mounting increase stability - fully
symmetrical airfoil and enlarged control surface area provide tremendous potential
for aerobatics.
- Easy low-speed handling characteristics permit leisurely landings
on the included, heavy-duty aluminum landing gear.
- Includes premium-quality, Great Planes brand hardware - control
horns, clevises, wheels, wheel collars and more.
- Step-by-step, photo-illustrated assembly instructions double
as an exceptionally thorough reference for future maintenance and repairs.
"There's no better way to ease yourself into aerobatics than
with a Big Stik. They're very maneuverable, yet slow to a walk for smooth landings.
Our ARF versions gives you the confidence to try anything, because they're so
well-made - and a cinch to assemble."
