Other People's LiteSTICKs
Tom Cole


(picture of the stock LiteSTICK)

Well I could not stand back any more I bought a lite stik after Ed built the canard.

If you cut down the fuselage stick in height and length and hold light thoughts while you build, you can finish one at 155 grams (5.5 ozs). Add string to the top of the wing and a post below the wing and string to the wing tips to the post.

"Barn door" the elevator and rudder.

Take the prop and cut down the first 1/3 out from the hub to about 3 mm wide so it looks like a carbon fiber with a post and a blade at the end.

Now with 7 cell 110 mill battery it will take off in about 12 to 16 inches, loop out of level flight, rudder roll,snap, stall turn and for about one ten-thousandth of a second it will fly inverted before it tucks out. (The undercambered wing was not designed to fly inverted.)

I too take my toys seriously! (:-)
