I have been flying Slow Stick planes since I got back into RC planes in 2005 -- The original GWS kits are super hard to find and also make a wonderful FPV platform. I really enjoyed designing and building this plane. I have made all the 3D Printer files available on Printables.com -- please check it out.

Inspiring video and project, thank you! Aloft Hobbies still sell GWS Slow Sticks FYI. I've flown a Pico Stick. I took it with me on a deployment back in the early 2000's and flew it on my days off at Al Udeid AB in Qatar.

Love this! I have a bunch of Lidl gliders on the shelf so using one of those wings and making a fuselage out of 2 carbon arrow shafts to make a slow flyer is a great idea!

this is 10x better than the Flite Test version. I just bough a boatload of black sealing tape because I can't find any white DTFB, just black, but the clear tape actually looks better on the black foamboard than the black tape

The wing is 5mm foam board with a slightly thicker paper. It is very ridged. There is a 3mm carbon rod on the leading edge and trailing edge of the wing.

good work. BUT, i would have FIXED the defects in the design. among other things, the vert-stab design Sucks. this model 'looks' like a slow-flyer, but it is fat/heavy. so, the use of a SF prop is Not recommended. it appears that the stabs should be about two inches farther from the wing. a tail wheel goes at the Tail. the height of a tail wheel strut should not interfere the tail's ability to move downwards.! you may know the following: an aircraft's center of mass (c-m) is Supposed to be located On the thrust line, at a point that vertically aligns with twenty-five percent of chord; as indicated in linked illustration. the distribution of mass (dom) of an aircraft can be visualized as a horizontally oriented 'teardrop' shape; one that is 'centered on' the described point. happily, you have correctly located the cg; near thirty percent of chord. there remains, however, significant tail-heaviness in the model's dom; because of the excess mass in the dual carbon tail booms and the location of servos/mass aft of the cg/c-m. the use of CF in a tail boom is Not recommended. in part, this is so because the dom of a CF component Cannot be Optimized. d googletranslate center of mass s3.amazonaws.com/assets.flitetest.com/article_images/medium/truecg-jpg_1384168691.jpg

@FarmerFpv
@FarmerFpv 13 дней назад
What are you on about? The Slow Stick is perfect. It is not a high-performance model. The slow fly prop is perfect for it. You're tripping balls. Let's see you build. You like to criticize without even having built one before, just like all the armchair engineers in the RU-vid comment section. The slow stick is flying perfectly. Also, may planes have a mid-rear steerable wheel. It does not have to be on the tail.

What an awesome SLow Stick Build, sir. This reminds me of the Old GWS Slow Stick that I still have. I have 3 of them brand new in the box still. Including the Corsair, P40, and P51. Your slow stick is much nicer than the GWS Slow Stick. You did an excellent job. It flies really well, too!
