The OG GWS slow stick is the most pleasurable plane I've flown. It was my first hobby grade plane about 20 years ago and still my favorite. They just fly so nice
Thanks Nate! Yeah, the wing on this plane is from my 2005 Slow Stick -- I still have it and love it. Almost 19 years old now! I know exactly what you mean.
I worked on a couple of units with people I fly with. There is still the issue of requiring a Flight Controller to get the full power -- if you don't get the full "ARM" signal -- it will remain in low power mode. You can do this but you will need to route the arming through a flight controller and that requires a little more work. As for me, I will have to get the V2 goggles or something that will support the 03 air units.
It flew very similar to the speed of a standard Slow Stick with one wing -- maybe a little faster. I think putting the hang point so much higher adds a lot of stability like a parasol plane. It was also interesting having the main wing out of the prop wash -- I think that added something to the experience. I definitely will fly it like this more -- it was a lot of fun.
