Due to the popularity of the “Stik” series of models, it was only a matter of time before Great Planes released a giant version. And this Stik, like all of its predecessors, is simple and rugged. The Giant Big Stik ARF can be powered by either a spark-ignition “gas” engine or a glow engine. Refer to “Engine Recommendations” under the “DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE” section of this manual for information that may help you decide how to power your Giant Big Stik ARF.

We urge you to join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) and a local R/C club. The AMA is the governing body of model aviation and membership is required to fly at AMA clubs. Though joining the AMA provides many benefits, one of the primary reasons to join is liability protection. Coverage is not limited to flying at contests or on the club field. It even applies to flying at public demonstrations and air shows. Failure to comply with the Safety Code (excerpts printed in the back of the manual) may endanger insurance coverage. Additionally, training programs and instructors are available at AMA club sites to help you get started the right way. There are over 2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the country. Contact the AMA at the address or toll-free phone number below.

The Great Planes Giant Big Stik ARF is an excellent sport-scale model and is eligible to fly in IMAA events. The IMAA (International Miniature Aircraft Association) is an organization that promotes non-competitive flying of giant-scale models. If you plan to attend an IMAA event, obtain a copy of the IMAA Safety Code by contacting the IMAA at the address or telephone number below, or by logging on to their web site.
