Simprop 0291447 Ugly Classic Stick XL (red)

The Ugly Stick is an aircraft that has been around for more than half a century. This is quite an accomplishment, especially considering the original plans were drawn in just a few evenings. The Ugly Stick's simplistic layout came to light when Phil Kraft needed an airplane for testing radio equipment. Ultimately, the Ugly Stick was designed as an expendable aircraft.

Fifty plus years later, the Ugly Stick (in many variations by many manufacturers) is still in production! This airplane has gone by many names over the years, and in one form or another, the Ugly Stick has been in nearly everyone's hangar!

When Seagull Models decided to bring out their own version of this iconic RC aircraft, I knew I wanted one. Like the original, I knew the Classic Ugly Stick would be not only a great flying airplane, but a great test bed for new engines and radio equipment. As a reviewer for RCUniverse, I'm always trying out new products, so it makes sense for me to have a good flying test plane
