It still has the dihedral I trimmed the wing for a bit more speed and to carve off crash damage! The stick on top is to prevent the wing from bending too much on high speed dives and folding!
Now I only use LIpo's But for this video it was only a $20.00 electrifly 2/3a pack 8.4v and 1100 mah Check out valuehobby they got good prices on lipo's and balance chargers! I used to get 15min out of a 2s 1500 lipo on the slowstick
How many MA are your batteries? I can get double that time especially if it is not windy. With Lipo 20 plus minutes is not a problem, 2S and 1500ma is all that's needed!
@ElementIsMyLife777 sorry for the long response time, I use a LiPo with a brushed. I can see where you are going with this, but I will have to wait till I am state side again to change out my motor. Also the comment that I have to get off the throttle is an insightful one. I know I tend to go "balls to the walls." I am still too new at flight R/C that I forget some simple basics.
@oicurageologist You might be needing a faster plane! if you are to the point of where you are putting it to the firewall for more speed then get a faster plane. The slowstick has those huge cambered wings to give lot's of lift and they reduce the possible speed of the plane. Check out my new plane killerbee and wait for killerbee V2 coming soon!(homebuilt foamboard)

why can't I keep my slow stick in the air that long?

You have to get off the throttle.
If you are on more than a bit over half throttle most of the time, you will have short flights. 1300mah minimum battery.

@oicurageologist do you use lipos or nicads? brushless or brushed?
