Part 3 Building Your Slow Stick Model

[shoopwhoopX]

a longtime ago, i used to use a 2amp esc on a geared brushed 300, a 400mah ni-cd and some pico servos

[chadnunez66]

what are the materials?

PLEASE REPLY

[buzz60016]

100,000 people have viewed this. Only four were idots to leave a negative rateing. This video is very helpful, as the Slow Stick directions are lacking. Truly greatful for the time and effort, MoJoHobbies, took to share his knowlege and time to post this video . . . . Thank you very much.

[fishycomics]

Thank you. this build did not stop me, but made me think twice before making my decision, and when willing and able to will one day get me my Slow stick, just not today. glad I stopped my purchase. but not upset. I will be flying a rc hobbyzone champ. to get me started again. , and tomorrow I will change my mind again. WInter is over, Spring is here. 150.00 for a full kit, 2.4 or 99.00 fm. I am sure I have those decisions to make. but Building is learning, and there is nothing like building.

[mikegigabyte]

so where is part 4 and 5

[theleabres]

I posted a video response because your instructions are much better and more accurate than the booklet. In the booklet, the brackets aren't the same order as yours and yours worked better for CG.

[RobertoNogueira]

Great job! Very usefull!

[theleabres]

How did you make the right downward thrust angle or is it even required for this plane?

[FROSTmk0]

zip tied my 480 brushless 30 amp esc with 11.1 lipos on mine, i wonder if the wings are going to hold up

[tenrazo215]

This is a classic airplane. It will continue to be made for years to come :)

[tyrian869]

Hi if i put up a video of my slow stick plane mods! would you im asking put a link to it

or something because it was up tagged and no view for a year so Im making a new video just wondering

[thomaslombardi]

Great video! just got this kit and the included instructions suck.

Thanks.

[cocoa3c]

Ohh, I get it...all this time I thought your vids were taken from a full sized glider or something like that...lol. DOH!

[happyshlappy]

did it come with the transmitter

[jjswimmer2014]

i tuck my slow stick out to day and ther was 5-9 mph gusts and if i tuck it in to the wind it sat just about stil i love my slow stick !!!!

[BlackDart94]

where did you ge the gws glue, also would any other glue work?

[jjswimmer2014]

dose any one have any pointers as to why i keep on going through props, i think that i have to balance it because it is a but front heavy but as soon as i let the power out once i am close to the ground it dose a nose dive and breaks the prop 50% of the time

[theshizambam]

Great vid...no part 4?

[akalholic]

my god i built mine totally wrong. this is a great and helpful video. i didn't even know how to put the servo's or battery on and was going to just stick it anywhere without checking center of gravity.

[gagik999]

does the slowstick come with everything included

[mattyfly4fun]

Same TX i am using on my slow stick dude

[grumpypant]

Here's what you can do to gain more fun out of this 'stick: if you're an rc novice, then, just fly this kit straight from the box...if you crash it (and there's a good chance you will crash with lack of flying experience), then you wouldn't lose much; but, to gain the maximum fun, use everything from the kit EXCEPT the motor; go see your local hobby store clerk and have him sell you E-Flite motor stuff...they can be expensive, but, you can see the differences of both world...

[beastly239]

how much did all the extra stuff cost?

like the readio the servos and the stuff that wasn't included

[dopeybear420]

@beastly239 depends what you use, i got about 120 bucks in all my stuff on my slowstick

[atomflyer44]

Or, you can order a brushless motor from hobbyking in Hong Kong and pay much much less! you can get a brushless motor with a speed control and a prop for around $15.00 that will make the slow stick go vertical! then for $7.00 you can get a 11.1 vold 1300 milliamp lipo battery, people say the quality is bad, but I have been flying my brushless $15.00 combo for a year now with NO PROBLEMS, the shipping is what can be expensive but I share the order and split the cost.

[tk0976]

you rock!!!!

[mikeandpetra]

are the mesurments for the c.g. inches or cm. you seem to have both displayed. just 6.5 " is about 16.5 cm.

[angrygunsmith]

Hi oculd someone be nice neough to tell me a good, suitable brushless engine and esc to use on the slowstick. something that will get it going, get it doing some nice aerobatics, but nothing that is OVERKILL. just hte typical brushless engine and esc. and is a 1300mah lipo good or what other battery should i use?

[singhparambir]

Hi I am using a BL from towerpro 2410-08 with 1047 prop. 1300 should be fine although I am usinf 2250/3S. It will basicaly effect your flight time. Chekc the videos I have posted and you will get a fair idea of how she flies with this power pack.

[shoopwhoopX]

check grayson hobby fo the park microjet combo, that a mild set up i use with a 1250 mah 7.4. lipo

[p3x197]

if your a beginner why dont u buy a ready to fly plane?

[jackuserjack]

does the electronics come with the plane?

[Naiffus]

Good job mojo!!. Well done!! and clearly explain. 5 stars from me! Now i can fly my slow stick with no hesitation.

[JRBeaman]

Very nicely done.

This is one of the most rewarding planes to fly.

[achilles22382]

thank you SO much!!! lol, for real this made me regret pulling all of that hair out! my first RC plane...

btw, i was wondering, where did you get that green gridded pad on your workstation? what is it called? i need one of those...

[airforceonedown]

this video had changed my life forever! i am a changes man, life is that much simpler now, i just hate the wheels on the plane, nice job merv

[RCFlyersTeam]

i love it when PPL show how things are done.. good job

[hasanjohnh]

Hello everybody!

[jaabvw]

I liked your video so educational!

[moviesunrated]

Is this plane RTF? or do you need to get everything?

[stcleonard]

except the motor, prop and spinner

[Machinima2013]

No it comes ARF in most hobby shops. You'll still need to get a transmitter and reciever, battery, speed control, and two servos.

[cooper1500]

do you get a raidio in the kit of do you have to by one . please reply , i think i might start rc flying

[MoJoHobbies]

Hey Everyone, Thanks for the comments on the video...good to know most of you can use it to get your plane built. Finding where to get parts and electronics for the slow stick can be found in part #2. The video is fast, but at the time, YT had a 10 min rule. Google the net for a YouTube downloader and get yourself a copy you can play offline. Have fun - I plan to continue this series in the following months, plus I'll post some other stuff that is sure to please.

[tallguysd]

Wow I just found these videos I did a complete build thread on rcgroups and wattflyer a couple years ago great videos.

[FrostbiteUK]

Brilliant video when evaluating if to buy this model or not. I wish every model had a video like this.

[Nudelsalatbomber]

a little bit to fast for a foreigner, but good!imagine if you would get just 50cent´s for ever hit - this would end with an income for 3 months to live with.

[omgiownedyou1shot]

how much would that set be?

[rextanka]

Thanks for this. I built my slowstick last weekend, and still need to install the controls, this vid is really helpful for that, the instructions on mine are a little vague when it comes to what goes where, so this is really a big help, thank you!!

[1viva]

Your vid is kinda fast but well worth viewing. It will help me when I build mine. Thank you!

[markmcmonagle12]

wheres part 4 and 5

[speedstakerguy]

the back wheel looks so unstable

[awsem1o1]

put a brushless motor and alerons and i goes fast my uncle did i was flying today ive never seen a slow stick go stright up and do a beral roll at the sme time!!!

[RCFEIND]

Awesome Tutorial MOJOHOBBIES! 5 stars from me!

RCFEIND

[modernmariorc]

very nice! the greatest challenge for me is balancing my SS and launching it.

[wildhover]

i just built my first slow stick two weeks ago and took my plane up last weekend. wish i would have seen your video before building it. i could have saved at least 2hrs instead of using the instruction manual that came with it

[startazz]

So when do we get to see some more great videos man? 5*

[szabib]

Hey,great vid.I have a question,though: do u think i could possibly mount the electrics from an rc car to a plane that i would build? Cause it would be cheaper to "convert" a car into a plane,since i don't want to spend a lot and i have the car already. Funny idea,huh?

[ballores]

Hi ordered a slow stick so will be using your vids many thanks

[bentpipe90]

I wish I had watched this before I built my slow stick. the instructions that came with it did not have enouf detale.

[Senegal01]

Great video, now need one on GWS Floats!

[3255959]

Great video's ..I heard a lot of good things about the super cub rtf... what do you think about it for a beginner...

[SBPStudio]

Always hear its so easy to build a SS but man does it look hard. A freakin Hacksaw??? Mine looks like it also needs some soldering done for the motor that came with it.

Guess I need to go to Home Depot.

[MoJoHobbies]

It Really Is Easy! I used the hacksaw to cut the motor shaft for the prop-saver...it's not necessary but it can save the motor too. We put one together with just a pair of pliers once...on the soldering, you could strip the wires back and twist them together...just be sure to use some electrical tape, Home Depot to the rescue.

[skaterpunk5050]

it looks really hard to build

but iam going to try my best to find a good begener plane i really like your vids thank you

[MoJoHobbies]

Check out the Firebird Phantom, its a really great beginner plane for about $50, a lot less building & a lot more flying...thanks for the Kudos, more great vids coming soon.

[tjtg]

Well Done. Very Thorough and easy to follow.

[ParaHelix]

Just to let you know, I am following every step of your great guides to build this awesome plane, I am a first time flier and your videos are so extremely fantastically helpful to me, I cant wait for part 4, thank you very much.

[MoJoHobbies]

Hey, thats awesome...Your gonna love this hobby, there are so many cool planes in the future just waiting for you to fly, so don't give up. Learning to fly the Slow Stick will be an extremely fantastically rewarding accomplishment that you'll never forget...Whoa! that's some BIG words there. MJH
