In this episode of the RC Plane Lab Podcast, Ron and Tom talk about the origins of one of Tom's favorite planes, Das Ugly Stik... or the Ugly Stik, or the Big Stik, or the Ultra Stik... The basic design has been known by many names over the years, and since Ron is finally building one, they thought it would be a good time to talk about it.
