  • actually, it's balanced right on the CG recommended by GWS. It might appear to fly tail heavy due to the combination of current flying style, max throws, a slight breeze (coming in from the left) and about twice as much power as its supposed to have. But since you're such an expert, I'm sure you already knew that.

  • i have a GWS slowstick with a bruss motor but flight time is only a max 8 min

  • when I had a stock brushed motor I had two batteries - a GWS 600mah 6-AA cell NICD pack and a Sony 1350mah 2 cell lithium ion pack. With aerobatic flying the nicd got about 8 minutes flight time and the lithium ion got 6 to 8 minutest flight time but when flying as slowly as possible, the nicd's longest flight time was 12 minutes and I got 27 minutes once with the lithium ion.

  • how much do these cost .....great vid

  • you can get one in the air for between $150 and $190 - add more $ for more power / extra batteries.

  • nice takeoff! Does it handle similar to the FMS slowstick?

  • I'm not really sure - it's been quite a while since I flew FMS

see all

  • its tail heavy, the charescteristics are that of a 3d plane, i ahte 3d planes.

  • I've got a GWS yellow slowstick and I use a 1250mah 20c li-po and it scoots! the plane is like a kite tho it really grabs the wind.
