You don't really need to zoom in THAT close. It's good to have some space around the model for reference to clouds, runway, etc, so we can better understand what the model is doing. Thanks for posting.
I lost elevator pushrod on 3rd flight, successful landing. Rudder pushrod eventually failed also. Weird harmonic on those. I recommend doubling ie 2 rods on elevator. 7 years no recurrences. Great planes hardware will rust beyond recognition FYI. Good airplane going to try the 100”
Hello there ... I have a Great Planes Giant big stik on order . I plan on running a gas motor maybe a Dle 35 .. I would like to know how you like yours and do you have any suggestions ?
It's an awesome plane, super fun to fly and will fly with almost any engine. Guys in my club always run them as tail draggers and use Williams Bros Vintage wheels for extra prop clearance.
Hey can I ask you, what size of the Williams bros. wheel did you use? It looks great and most of all FUN! I've gotta stop building for a minute and get back in the air.
The way all of the surfaces were shaking in the run up on the ground, no wonder failures occurred. Servo horn and then eventual elevator failure. Looks like an easy plane to fly. Surprised it took so many attempts to land. Too fast, just shut it off if if necessary in this case.
The run up on the ground portion of the video was speed up so it exaggerated the vibrations you see. But this is an old gas engine so it idles very rough. The only landing attempt was the final landing, the rest were touch-and-goes. This is a very enjoyable plane to fly. Landings are made by just cutting the throttle and coasting in. He (the pilot in this video who built and flew the plane) had forgotten to put the screw in the servo arm which is why it came loose. The later elevator failure was a bad solder job on the linkage to the elevator. The elevator servo still worked fine after the crash.
Do you know what cam cider is using in this video? Is really amazing. If you can please tell.me me for I buy to recorder my flights. Thanks and good flights.
At the turn around 2.40 to 2.50, I see what looks like elevator flutter. Perhaps the cause of your elevator linkage failure that led to it's sad demise?
Love the ugly and ultra sticks! They are such great fliers!!! Thanks for posting.
Hey you're welcome! I agree, the stick is a wonderful design.

I'm digging those wheels.
Thx, those are Williams Brothers wheels.

I'm pretty sure they're 5"...thanks for the awesome comment!

Nice flying, great control. Have to ask where did you get the wheels from.
The wheels are Williams Bros. I think at the time they came from Tower Hobbies.

It's a JVC GZ-E10BU that I bought several years ago refurbed for $89.
Flying-Derp old but still very good

Yep, it does look like that, good eye!
Kristed Smith ...what?!! elevator??no... flap servo arm!!!!!
If I remember, he later had an elevator servo failure and the plane made like a lawn dart into the ground.
Wow.. got lucky on that one!!!!!
He sure did.
With this weed eater engine no servos resist!!!
It'll rattle your fillings loose.
hello, which propeller are you using? I have the same engine. Nice flight.
Hi - this was my friends plane, I'm not sure which prop he had on it, sorry.
Ought to give a thumbs down for not knowing how to spell "loses".
Well heck, I deserve it! I thought I fixed that a long time ago.
