Yard Stik

Yard Stik photo

Build it fast...
fly it slow!

For whenever – and wherever – the urge to fly strikes, the Yard Stik is ready! It's a great park flyer that cruises along at the same pace as a brisk walk. That makes it easy to control... and a real confidence-builder for developing piloting skills. ARF construction slashes assembly time to the minimum, so you can be outdoors – or indoors – in no time!

  • Simple, plug-in assembly – flight-ready in about an hour!
  • Factory-covered in an attractive iron-on film, with Maltese Cross decals.
  • Includes a 280-size motor, 3.5:1 gearbox and durable nylon propeller.
nylon center pod
Designed specifically for the Yard Stik, the nylon center pod securely holds the battery and on-board radio gear. The wheels are also molded of nylon for strength, light weight and shock absorbing ability.

 

parts layout
Very little assembly is left to finish the Yard Stik. The built-up wing – reinforced with carbon-fiber leading and trailing edges – arrives precovered, and the included motor, gearbox and propeller install quickly on the durable carbon-fiber boom.
control linkages
Control linkages connect with the same plug-in ease as the rest of the plane. Injection-molded nylon guides direct pushrods to the elevator control surfaces for smooth, precise movement.

Don Anderson

"By performing well at speeds no faster than a brisk walk, the Yard Stik lets modelers fly within small areas, indoors or out – and without leaving their comfort zone."

Note: Some models require a 3-channel radio system, but a 4-channel will also work and it's beneficial because the modeler can use it in a wider range of applications with larger aircraft in the future. It depends on whether the modeler plans on using their radio for different uses other than just this airplane. Also please note that some radios come with receiver, crystal and/or servos.
