    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Man I totally get it...I sure would like to get this in the air this year however I have said that for the last few years as well :oblong: I have a little more than a month and a half till the 3 year anniversary of the first pieces being glued together and I can guarantee it won't be flying by...

    Covering! Might only be the vert stab and probably won't have another chance to work on it for a few more weeks but all parts of the project need a starting point! Always amazed at how covering makes things larger.

    Thanks! Life is sure changing, 3.5 week old and a 17 month old boy who he is really the one to keep us on our toes! He sure is happy when he gets to hang with dad and control "his" radio! I knew there was a good reason to hang on to that crummy old Dx6i haha

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    @HRRC Flyer Sorry I haven't dropped any pics. Holiday's came thru and then my daughter was born a few weeks after the new year so the shop time has slowed down. However I do have a few pieces either ready to be covered or one final sand and ready to cover. I really need to get going on ordering...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Peer pressure... I like it!! "But mom, ALL the cool kids are building stiks!!" :D I am hoping next weekend to get everything sanded to 220 which would mean I will be ready for some color. The only thing I want to do is add some hardwood mounting points in the fuse for some float mounts. Not...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    I am building a 50cc size. The plan for power is a DA-70, I haven't decided but am leaning towards a 2-1 header and a canister setup.

    Don't forget too that the AMR pricing is for Canadian dollars so getting one shipped to a customer in the US the exchange rate will be in our favor. I think at the current rate its close to $140 difference.

    I will second this comment as well! I had a brain fart building the fuse and made 2 left sides and was in a similar spot and had the same experience where AMR sent me out the replacement parts for a very minimal cost! Glad to see you jumping back into the project. My stik is still on the table...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Well I got some more updates done on my Stik! Both wings have the trailing edges sheeted and servo boxes are all glued together. Really get an idea of the size of the plane when the wings are on and I am getting pretty excited! I totally get the wing attaching to the jig moment too! My...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Yea I only had the 12 (minus 2 I lost somewhere along the way DOH!!) So on the first wing I built the webbing was on the backside of the spar and I just rolled with it. On the second wing I had a lightbulb moment seeing where the webbing attaches to the leading edge piece that slides into the...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Well this project has sat in varying degrees of completion for months at a time in my shop, I know that the last 10% is probably going to take 90% of the time but with a one month old at home I am sure not getting out to the model field very much :/

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Well motivation on my stik is continuing. I have wing #2 in the jig. Would have had some glue on it a little quicker however rib #3 was missing the front third :( I'm sure in my moving the boxes around the garage I broke and lost the other piece. I just cut a new front third and it was...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Well I will be honest this thread has been a real motivator for me to get my build back to the forefront! So not too much from the weekend but I did get my jig ready to frame wing #2. I did get a chance to put one wing on and make some airplane noises which sometimes seeing it together really is...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Well I really like my DA-70 that I have now on my ABZ Extra so I am considering another one. I have kicked around the idea of a DA-100 but am not sure if I want to spend the extra for that. I would rather put a nice canister setup on the 70 and keep the sound patrol happy at the club. I am...

    Looking good!! I am 14 months into mine...got slow going with this flying season and a new baby in the house too. My buddies gave me a hard time saying it took my wife less time for a baby than building this plane :D Maybe I missed it somewhere in the thread what are you using to power yours?

    RC Warbirds Over Port Clinton fun-fly and fly-in, August 23rd and 24th, 2014 - Pics

    Charlie is an awesome dude! He rebuilt that thing over 15 years if I remember correctly. Actually was done down in Wadsworth and was across the way from where my dad has his 170b hangared. Was such a cool project to watch come together.
