great dependable plane(Posted on May 23, 2016) flew the cap out of it.even put a hot 32 motor on it. only problem was landing gear and that is always my problem .very hardy plane ,I put a smaller motor on it and gave it to my grandson (reluctantly)he's still flying it.I've had the great planes version and would strongly suggest you look at your wallet and buy this plane instead.every plane I've bought from these people has been a pleasure tofly.thank you value hobby for making these planes available for these prices.I'm retired and you make this hobby affordable. |

Great flying quality built(Posted on September 13, 2015) After crashing my sweet stick I was looking for a good replacement.. Saw this on the internet and found value hobbies.Well built Arf...instructions lack details.I also beefed up the firewall and landing gear areas as others suggested...I installed my trusty OS 40 fp as power plant..A little over powered yet still floats in on landings even with 2 ounces of weight on the tail..Quick takeoffs at half throttle...Great little plane for 70.00..Be sure to get the mini servos for ailerons... I used standard servos for the rest just have to trim the servo yray...I will get another yet some experience is a must for the build due to lack of detailed instructions.... |

50 flights plus(Posted on August 29, 2015) This is my second review of this plane just got back from the field flying 3 different sticks GP electrostick HK Das Das Ugly stick and this Easy Stick I have to say this one is the best, I fly in a cow pasture very rough I have had to reinforce the GP Electrock Stik landing gear and the HK Das Ugly stick. The Easy Stick is light and floats in very smooth. I love to fly this Stick if I ever crash it I will buy another ARF |

Great flying - as expected because it is a 'Stick'(Posted on June 4, 2015) Two years usage now; E-max GT2820/04 brushless motor E-Max ESC and 3 cell 2200MaH batt. Landing gear mounting must be reinforced, also I use one that has larger contact area to spread loads to mounting surface. Push rod(s) housing/sleeves installed like a snake causing major binding of wire pushrod, I changed to ni-rods. Because built for electric I changed front hatch to hinge(fiberglass bi-directional tape) and magnet for easy battery exchange. Changed some of the other hdwr. as almost impossible to use/assemble. Maybe some of these issues have been corrected. Still ... if you have a good background & know what you need to correct, way faster than building a kit & lower cost. Will get another for spare when notified of sale. |

Nice plane with cheap hardware(Posted on June 2, 2015) Get great planes hardware for the build. Also spinner melts when used with electric starter. Intermediate builders only. |

Fun to assemble(Posted on February 2, 2015) Good quality kit. Some experience will be helpful. Be sure to order the recommended servos. Default is foe nitro power so adapter for electric needed. I built one to work for me. Agree with others that the landing gear area needs reinforcement. |

Not all off the shelf servos will work(Posted on January 30, 2015) First I am still in the building process because I needed to order Tork brand servos. Even though I had a supply of micro Hitech servos in my bin, the mounting hole span was too wide them. My have 27mm span and the plane was set up for a mounting span of 35mm as minimum. Also, at one time the recommended servo for the elevator and rudder were standard size. The plane now has been resized for the Tork micro servos. Same span problem as the servos in the wing so off the shelf won't fit. Biggest problem to me is the fact that the instructions lacked clariety. Pictures shown are not consistent with the actual parts needed for the build. No instruction as to how to use (or if needed) the electric motor mounting adapter. Again, the photos show motor mounted with no adapter used even though there is one supplied with the kit. If you have some experience you will probably be Okay. All could be improved if the servos needed were at least supplied since it would only add $20 dollars or so to the price. You will need to buy the right size servos anyway. Once complete it should be a fun machine to fly. Looking forward to its completion. |

Sweet little ugly stick(Posted on January 25, 2015) It went together easy used the Items Needed every thing in the plane is from Value Hobby. Set up like they recommend and has plenty of power. It is a blast to fly. Here is the maiden flight never got over half throttle, wind was 10 mph gusting over 15 mph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU6RWeXQhP4 |

GREAT AIRPLANE !!!(Posted on August 12, 2014) Put this plane together in a few nights, ready for the weekend. Touched it off, tracked straight as ever, up she went, NICE.. were my first thoughts, a few clicks, trimmed in. WOW.. very nice, it is one I bring out every time I go to the field. All I can say, GET IT.. great easy flyer, beginners, you go for it too. The only negative, don't go inverted, it doesn't like it, rolls, 360's are good. |

Great fun(Posted on August 8, 2014) This little Stick is great fun. It is significantly more agile than the Stylus 60 I have and flies better with expo at about 25%. It handles the wind well. On low rates with expo makes a good second plane. The packaging was good and covering was perfect. The supplied control rods are tight to fit, but work. Build was very easy; this was my first (of many) ARF. My second one took about 6h to assemble. Fast fun work. I strongly advise adding tri-stock / epoxy to strengthen the firewall and landing gear (LG) areas before they break. The stock LG is narrow at the attachment area and seems to rip off easily. I replaced mine with a UC with wider attachment for better force distribution. The supplied 1" wheels are not good for grass. I use 2.75" with few problems. I used a OS .46 LA as I had it available. The LA only weighs 1oz more than a OS 25 FX and is much more powerful than the .25 FX. It really doesn't need or benefit from the .46. Vertical is unlimited (and overrated). Landings are faster than either a trainer or my Stylus 60, but easy all the same. So, with some modifications (Tristock/epoxy, LG, larger wheels) this is great fun. It fits in my trunk of my compact sedan without lowering the seats. It is a great plane that I think I'll always have one of. PD |
