"CLASSIC UGLY STICK" Originally designed by Phil Kraft re-designed in cad format by Guy Fuller 1997 this model was designed in pure vlm format using drawing board lt. (c) 1995 Rib design by winfoil malcolm hardy (c) 1995 another starcad plan for more designs in cad format search out http://www.azstarnet.com/stcad/ The original Ugly Stick was an attempt by Phil Kraft to design a trainer that was simple to build and fly. Basic lines and ease of construction made this model a one of the most popular models of all time. It has flown in many different configurations, as a low-wing, a tail dragger, and scaled to almost all sizes. Construction techniques varied from balsa to foam board - take your pick. Presented here are the basic design lines only slightly changed to bring it up to current standards of R/C modeling. The only big change was in the wing to incorporate servos in each wing panel. Other than that feel free to alter anything on the design to fulfill your desires.
