(have to dissigree with the "loops" comment. I can do about 6-7 loops in a row with out a dive, using the stock motor & a 8.4V pack)

(looks like he was flying in a VERY windy day, It's more like flying a kite in any wind over 10MPH)

This is one of my Fav. Planes that i own! This Plane is also Rudder/Elevator Control.
The Slow Stick will take about 1 hour for a Beginner to build. This plane is allot more than
just a Slow Flying Trainer! Many use this plane to carry Cameras & drop bombs.
This plane climbs out at about a 40 Degree angle in a nice slow flying manner.
Once you have some altitude, cut the throttle and fly it for a good 20 Mins. 2 Minuses for this
kit is the WEAK Landing Gear & the motor. But for $35.00 this plane is a steal!
