Big Stik 60 / Ugly Stick 60 - Saito FA-91 S - Classic Aerobatic Trainer Plane

Here is a short flight of my 60 Size Ugly Stick, powered by a Saito FA-91 S Four-Stroke engine.
The Saito is swinging a Master Airscrew 14x6, is tuned quite rich, or so it may seem at first, but this is necessary, because this engine likes to rev past 10,000 rpm, as you may well hear in the video.
This airplane was gifted to me as an ARF kit by my lovely wife, and while not a Great Planes original, it left nothing to be desired in terms of the quality of its construction, which was quite excellent. I would love to share the details of where this airframe can be purchased, but the box had no markings on it whatsoever. Its dimensions are an exact match to the Great Planes ´´BigStik 60´´, but it weighs about 150 g more, on account of the slightly sturdier construction.
The wheelpants were my own addition, I thought they matched the classic color scheme quite well.
