After only 12-15 hours in the workshop, you emerge with a model equal to any expertly built kit. That’s one advantage of a Great Planes' almost ready-to-fly Big Stik – 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.
Easy low-speed handling characteristics permit leisurely landings on the included, heavy-duty aluminum landing gear.
Step-by-step, photo-illustrated assembly instructions double as an exceptionally thorough reference for future maintenance and repairs. This is the Radio Controlled, Glow Powered, Almost Ready-to-Fly,
Great Planes Big Stik .40 Sport Airplane.
Great planes returned to the original Big Stik plans to create
this 90% Pre-Built and MonoKote Covered ARF Kit.
Recommended for modelers with trainer airplane experience.
