G-Styk originally flow by Skip for 5 years, crashed in 1995. It was given to Curt Johns(now deceased) who rebuilt it
and flew it until 2010. He then gave it to a fellow member of the Rams Club who is still flying it in 2012.
It is on its second O.S. 91 Surpass engine and has well over 1,000 flights on it
