Top Model Stick 1.6m ARF

A classic shoulder wing sport trainer, refined and modernized by TopModel CZ

Influenced by the design of the popular “Das Ugly Stik” comes the TopModel Stick 1.6 meter electric sport trainer ARF. Featuring all wood construction, all parts are prefabricated to TopModel’s gold standard of quality and are covered with Oracoat in a WW1 Red Baron color scheme without a single wrinkle or warp. 

For you, there isn’t too much left to do, just hinging the control surfaces and mounting the landing gear along with some final assembly of the components and then just install your own electronics. The assembly manual is in Czech but there are plenty of quality diagrams that should be easy to follow for the average builder. Its cavernous interior has plenty of room for your gear and can take a variety of battery sizes while it’s aluminum tube wing spar will handle whatever aerobatics you put it through, or use it as a club trainer. Below this page, we’ve selected some electronics we think would suit this aircraft nicely.
