3 Model Builder Plans # 10791-A "Big Stik' at 100"  under construction by Gary, Gary jr. and  Mike  of Ontario Canada. The 1st picture shows a 13 x 8 APC prop for comparison. These are really large birds and go together really fast. You have around 2000 Square inches of wing surface and at that size with a 19 lb weight will give you 23 oz. of loading on the wing. We have changed the plans and are using door skins for the body and they will be tail draggers instead of Tricycle gear. I figure a weight of 15lbs. for the planes. Giving us a plane with 18oz. wing loading. A real glider. 

A Team effort was put into these 3 birds and they could be built in a month of evenings.  One plane could be built in as little as a week of holidays due to ease of construction. But the wife's still want things done also. More pictures as time goes on.
