Hello I recently purchased a big stik 60 and I was wondering if anyone knows of a build thread for this plane I plan on using electric?

Don't know about a build thread but I converted a Great Planes Big Stik 40 to an electric taildragger with a top battery access hatch. Your larger 60 size should be similar so if I can be of any help I would be glad to try.

Really not much of a build thread needed...
Make the cover over the gas tank area into a hatch for battery access. Bolt on the .60 class electric motor. Maybe open up the fuselage bulkhead at the front of the wing a bit to allow a larger pack to fit.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

Some photos of the process. Not real pretty but it looks ok. In case anyone is wondering about the cover, I'll explain.
I also have a 52 inch version of this plane and the original battery cover was warped so Tower sent me another one.
I managed to get straitened out pretty good and I placed it on top of the new plane and traced around it and then cut around it.
